Employee's thumb tip amputated while sharpening slicer blade

Employee #1 was sharpening the blade on a Globe 500LR slicer, serial #588041. The slicer was equipped with two 1 1/2 in. diameter stones on a spinning sharpening mechanism that would, when operating correctly, sharpen both sides of the 12 in. diameter blade. One stone was jammed and not spinning, so Employee #1 tapped it with the tip of his right thumb. The stone struck the blade and spun his thumb into it, amputating the tip.
