Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a power press using hand-held tongs. The machine malfunctioned, changing from single stroke to continuous stroke. Part of the die came down on the tip of the tongs, causing the hand grip to crush the employee's finger. It was later discovered that a broken rotary limit switch had caused the machine to change modes.
