Employee crushes fingertip while adjusting bindery trimmer

At 8:00 a.m. on August 14, 2020, an employee accessed the front end adjustment knob on the Kolbus HD150 bindery trimmer by opening the infeed door. The interlock on the door was not operational.

The employee crushed his fingertip, requiring hospitalization and surgical amputation.
