Employee injured when finger caught in power press die

He was making bends in a small piece of aluminum, and says he got distracted and pinched the end of his right ring finger in the dies. Employee #1 was using a foot-operated control and the machine had no safeguards on it. Employee #1's injuries consisted only of losing his fingernail, which has subsequently grown back.
