Employee injured while operating casting machine

At 3:00 p.m. on June 10, 2002, Employee #1, a worker at a wheel manufacturer plant, was attempting to adjust the mold setting on a CPC casting machine. Employee #1 asked a coworker to lower the machine while he installed an ejector lock. For some reason, Employee #1's right hand was on the flat plate when the machine closed, which caused his pinky finger to become caught under one of the locks. The tip of Employee #1's finger was severed.
