Final narrative
An employee was clearing a jammed part in a tapper machine. The employee's right index fingertip got caught in the jaws of the tapper machine as they closed. When the employee pulled their finger back, their fingertip remained in the jaws and was avulsed, and the bone of the fingertip was fractured. At the time of the incident, the machine was in manual mode.
