Final narrative
The injured employee was training another employee on how to operate the side puller machine. The injured employee noticed that a hide was not clamped properly and went to adjust it on the clamp. At the same time, other employees pressed the buttons to start the machine. The clamp caught the injured employee's right middle finger, which had to be surgically amputated from the tip to the first knuckle.
