Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on or about December 1, 1998, Employee #1 was operating a 22 ton I &J full-revolution punch press, serial #33130. He was running cowling extrusion parts in die #7-081-07-110 when the press began making a clicking sound. Employee #1 removed the part from the die and leaned forward to look at the top of the press. He placed his left hand near the die for support while trying to see what was causing the sound and inadvertently stepped on the foot control. The press cycled, amputating the tips of three of his fingers. The press was unguarded.
