Investigation Summary
On March 30, 2000, Employee #1, a regular employee of a salvage recycler, was operating a Pine Tree Manufacturing, 220-volt wire stripper, model 56, serial #2074. He was placing the wire in the machine to strip off the outer insulation prior to recycling the metal core when the wire jammed. Employee #1 put the wire stripper in reverse and went to the back of the machine. He was guiding the wire back through when his glove became entangled in the wire and his right hand was drawn into the machine, amputating the distal portions of his first, second, and third fingers and degloving his right thumb. Employee #1 had not been adequately trained on this machine, was not given instructions on how to clean or service it, and was not told to avoid wearing gloves while using it.
