Final narrative
An employee was troubleshooting a feeder's conveyor belt pulley, which was not moving. He was checking the belt's tension when it started to move, catching his right index finger and resulting in an amputation of the first digit. The feeder was not locked out and was unguarded at the time of the incident.
