Employee severs two fingers while operating press

On November 12, 2003, Employee #1, a mechanical power press operator, was hand feeding small parts that were approximately 1.75 inches in diameter into a mechanical press. For some reason, the locking nut of the threaded connecting rod on the press, which was used to adjust the pullbacks, vibrated loose. Employee #1's right hand got caught in the machine, severing his right index and middle finger at the first knuckle. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his amputated fingers.
