Employee's hand severed by machine

At approximately 8:00 a.m. around July 28, 1999, Employee #1 was doing routine maintenance of a Raybond machine. He removed a guard to get to an oil cup and then started to pour oil into the cup. As he was about to finish he tried to close the lid when the machine automatically started. Unable to pull his left hand clear, a sharp edge of an overhead angle iron severed his hand. He was hospitalized and physicians were unable to reattach his hand.
