Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:15 p.m. on November 10, 1992, Employee #1 was operating a Baird mechanical power press guarded by a two-hand trip and a sweep device. According to Employee #1, she put a piece of work in the machine's point of operation, then noticed that the piece wasn't set correctly. When Employee #1 reached into the press to adjust it, the press cycled, amputating part of her middle finger. It is unclear why the press cycled; however, the press had malfunctioned before the accident. The malfunction may have been in the pneumatic anti-repeat microswitch.
