Investigation Summary
Employee #1 stated that the pushers that push the product out the mold die were stuck in the out position. Normally, to get the pins to retract, the molding machine is turned from the auto mode to the hand mode either automatically or by using a rubber mallet to tap the air cylinders that actuate the pusher. However, Employee #1, who is a maintenance mechanic, said he took the palm of his hand and pushed each pusher up physically. However, one of the pushers, because it was pressurized, caught the tip of his finger. Employee #1's fingertip was amputated surgically as a result of the accident.
