Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a small, single stroke press (Molex, #1063, 1 1/2 tons). The press was equipped with a cutting die that was punching out pieces of laminate approximately 1 inch by 3 inches from a spool. Employee #1 was hand feeding the material in and out of the machine and using a foot pedal to activate it. The machine's point-of-operation guard had been removed. Material jammed in the bottom die opening and Employee #1 attempted to free it by jabbing at it with his right index finger. The press activated and struck the finger, amputating the first joint and part of the second joint.
