Final narrative
Three employees attempted to repair a fill slide on the lower part of a die, which would not actuate during production. The lower die was mostly disassembled; it is air-powered when installed. They used air pressure to manually troubleshoot the issue. They further disassembled the die. The injured employee placed his hand on the die shoe, which activated the die, crushing his left-hand pinky and ring finger.
