Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14225254
Event: 11/09/1993
Employee's finger partially cut off in shaper

Employee #1 was performing setup procedures on a SCMI shaper (wood millwork) to achieve a stop fluting pattern on a door. Employee #1 was performing this setup with the shaper running. He placed a short piece of scrap wood, 17 7/16 inches long by 6 inches wide by 1 inch thick, at a pre-drawn pencil line on the right side of the fence with the wood's butt end at the line and slowly brought the opposite end toward the fence and the shaper's rotating cutting blades. The blades caught the board close to its center and kicked it out of Employee #1's right hand and pulled his left hand into the blades (knives). The blades (knives) struck the two middle fingers on Employee #1's left hand, cutting one off at the first knuckle and cutting a piece out of the middle finger.
