Employee Finger Is Amputated by Rotating Shear of Machine

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on January 4, 2011, Employee #1 was being trained by a coworker to operate a Smith Company Model RO Number 3 envelope machine. Employee #1 and his coworker were changing the paper in the machine, but Employee #1's coworker loaded the wrong spool weight of paper into the machine. Employee #1 was working alone, and the paper started to jam in the machine near the knife and the roller. Employee #1 removed the guard and lifted the roller to remove the jammed paper while waiting for the splice to move through the machine. Employee #1 grabbed the paper and placed his right ring finger into a void in the roller, and the tip of his ring finger was amputated by the rotating shearing action of the machine. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
