Investigation Summary
On September 1, 1993, Employee #1, a farm worker, amputated 4 fingers on his left hand in the cane cutter on a grape harvester. Employee #1 rides on a seat at the right rear of the harvester sorting out the larger vines (cane). He was trying to pull a cane out of the cutter when his hand was pulled in. On a grape harvester, the leaves, grapes, and vines are fed by a conveyor to the cutter. The conveyor's shield did not extend far enough to prevent his arm from reaching the cutter.
