Employee's Fingers Are Cut by Gears in Breading Machine

At 7:00 p.m. on March 9, 2009, Employee #1 was by a batter/breading machine at a frying station. The employee opened the guard cover to the observation port to look at the gears. The employee was trying to get the gears for the top and bottom belts to track properly. Employee #1 turned the machine off and then lifted the top belt and let if fall so that the gears would mesh together. The employee then leaned down to push the start button on the bottom of the machine. As he bent over to push the start button, he grabbed the side of the open observation port with his gloved right hand to steady himself. As the machine started, the chain and sprocket moved causing the glove tip on his right middle finger to get caught and pulled in, pinching the tip of the employee's finger and cutting it. The employee pulled his finger free.
