Employee injured when fingertip amputated by hot sealer bar

On October 18, 2001, Employee #1 was operating an Arpac machine that wrapped small bundles of magazines in plastic. The bundles were slid into the Arpac machine where it automatically wrapped the bundle in plastic and a hot sealer bar sealed the plastic wrap. The machine was activated by photo sensing eyes when a bundle passed a fixed point. Several bundles had become jammed and Employee #1 reached in to unjam them when the hot sealer bar activated, pinching and amputating Employee #1's fingertip.
