Mechanic's fingers amputated in trimmer

Thermoplastic material was being formed and die cut in a 1974 Koehring in-line thermoformer machine, model #2025, serial #6086. When the material jammed in the trimmer section of the machine the operator called Employee #1, the mechanic, to clear the machine jam. Employee #1 had cleared the jam and was pushing material down where it entered the trimmer when the trimmer activated. The die cut one of Employee #1's fingers and amputated part of two fingers and the thumb of the left hand. Employee #1 had neglected to turn off the trimmer section of the machine.
