Employee's finger amputated in gears of printing press

Employee #1, of Gold Coast Printing Service, was performing maintenance on a recently rebuilt printing press for the company that did the rebuilding. Employee #1 filled the gear boxes with gear oil. He plugged in the press and started it, although the side cover below/adjacent to a set of rotating gears (7 in. in diameter) was removed, exposing the gears. A rag that Employee #1 was holding caught the gears and pulled his right hand into the rotating gears, amputating his right index finger below the first knuckle.
