Employee's Fingers Are Amputated by Machine

On February 7, 2006, Employee #1, a machine operator, was jointing the top head on a moulder. Employee #1 hooked the extension tool (crescent wrench) on the edge of the metal block that secures the jointing stone to apply more pressure with the stone to the knives. The extension tool slipped, and Employee #1 tried to grab the tool as it fell towards the knives. The fourth and fifth digits of his right hand were amputated. He spent two days in the hospital.
