Final narrative
An employee was adjusting a cut and square machine which has two functions. First it compresses the ends of a flexible wire into a square and then cuts it into 36-inch segments. It uses two grinding wheels driven by a set of gears to cut the segments. The employee was checking the grinding wheels when the wheels activated and pinched his left hand in the gears. The employee's left middle finger was amputated. The machine was guarded at the time.
