As the employee was straightening the board, his right ring finger got caught between an opening in the trim saw platform and the conveyor chain and a sprocket that was part of a conveyor system that moved boards to the trim saw. The employee sustained an amputation to the right ring fingertip and was treated but not hospitalized.
