Employee's finger amputated by press die

At approximately 10:30 p.m. on November 18, 1994, Employee #1, of Delta Star, Inc., was helping a press brake operator set up the machine before a production run. As the operator reached around the end of the machine to adjust the controls, he also pressed the machine's foot pedal to move the slide down.
