The equipment was running to ensure all inside residues were scraped off and flushed. After flushing was completed, Employee #1 proceeded to wipe off the outside of the equipment without shutting it down. Employee #1 did not realize the equipment was running when he tried to remove something at the bottom opening of the equipment. Employee #1's left middle finger was caught in the opening causing a laceration and distal tip amputation. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
