Employee's fingers amputated when caught in conveyor

Employee #1 was cleaning up in the area of a trim saw in-feed conveyor when the conveyor chain became jammed and the drive belts slipped. The operator summoned Employee #1 and indicated for him to push down on the drive belts to increase the tension on the drive. The operator then activated the foot control to the in-feed and, after several tries, the drive moved. Employee #1's left hand became caught between the belts and drive pulley, amputating his ring and little fingers.
