Employee's finger is amputated in forming machine

At 4:30 p.m. on July 1, 2020, an employee was operating a Formax F-26, hamburger patty forming machine when he attempted to clear a hamburger patty from the moving molding plate on the output side of the machine. The machine was guarded on the top side of the unit, but was missing two shuttle guards.
