Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:55 a.m. on September 24, 1997, Employee #1, a press operator for a printer, finished installing a new lower belt in the folder. He was making adjustments when his left hand slipped, and, as he fell toward the machine, struck against a roller cutting knife. The first digits of his left hand index and middle fingers were amputated. The night shift supervisor had left for the day, and Employee #1 had never replaced and adjusted the belt before. The unit was not deenergized before or during this operation.
