Employee amputates fingertip while using meat grinder

At 12:45 p.m. on November 9, 2020, an employee was grinding beans in the Hobart 4156 meat grinder, when beans stopped coming out of the machine. The employee attempted to clear the jam by reaching into the throat of the grinder and bypassing the guard while the machine was still on. The employee's finger came in contact with the blade, and the middle fingertip on the right hand was amputated. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
