The employee raised the metal part in order to use a higher point of contact on the abrasive wheel. When the metal part touched the abrasive wheel, it was pulled down towards the table, catching his right glove in the belt/disc sander. Employee #1 sustained lacerations to two fingers along with an amputation of the tip of his left thumb.
