Employee's arm severed when caught by lathe

Employee #1 was turning a nylon bushing on a Wasino lathe, using a 1/2 in. by 12 in. long file to rub burns off the bushing while the lathe rotated. Employee #1's shirt cuff was caught by the jaws of the chuck and his left arm was pulled into the lathe and torn off 7 inches below the shoulder. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, where his arm could not be reattached. The lathe was operating at 448 rpm. The chuck jaws extended 1/4 in. from the chuck. The lathe has an operational brake pedal to stop the lathe that runs the entire length of the base. The chuck has 16 in. diameter and turns counterclockwise at the operator's station.
