Employee's two fingers amputated by unguarded press

On December 18, 1998, Employee #1 was operating an Eagle Hydraulic Press that was equipped with two pressure-sensitive buttons. With the right hand on one of the buttons, Employee #1 attempted to place or to remove a pipe part from the die area. Inadvertently, Employee #1 leaned on the left button, causing the press to cycle and to crush four fingers of her left hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized and two fingers were amputated during surgery. The point of operation was not fully guarded on the press.
