Final narrative
An employee was removing a plastic component that was jammed in a de-energized machine. The employee placed their left hand on a metal slide, then used pliers with their right hand to pry the slide open. Upon applying significant force to the slide with the pliers, the jam broke free. The employee's left index fingertip was pinched and amputated between the slide and an adjacent metal surface.
