Employee's Middle Finger Is Amputated by Machine

At 3:00 p.m. on November 7, 2008, Employee #1, a machinist, was using a tapping tool to clean and lubricate the steel plate of a Makino S33 computer numerical control machine. The employer's procedure for that task required the employee to using an air gun to blow out excess chips and lubricate the inside of the drilled holes with his latex-gloved hand. The employee reached into the machine. When the drill bit came down, it amputated his left middle finger. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
