Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to cut coiled wire in a Pacific 12 ft metal shear when his finger was lacerated and smashed between the hold down and table of the shear.

The employee's position was not appropriate to operate the shear and the accident was attributed to improper use of the shear.
