Event: 08/08/1995

Employee's fingertip amputated in power press

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on August 8, 1995, Employee #1 was setting the die on a Komatsu 250-ton full revolution mechanical power press, REN 26-419, for the final cut-off step. When Employee #1 placed the tip of his left index finger over the end of the stamping to feel how close the sheet stock was to the die cutting position, he jogged the sheet stock with the pendant control in his right hand. Employee #1 jogged the material too far, amputating the tip of his left index finger between the sheet stock and the cut-off die (edge).
