Investigation Summary
Employee #1 removed the chain and sprocket guard from a canning machine without de-energizing the motor circuit (by removing the plug located directly in his path of reach). With a rag in hand, he began to spray lubricant from an aerosol can onto the chain and sprocket. The unit caught the rag, pulling Employee #1's hands into the unit. His left index finger was amputated and his right middle and little fingers were crushed.
