Final narrative
An employee was troubleshooting a stamper machine. The part-sensing proximity switch was malfunctioning. The employee reached through the part access opening in the guard to adjust the proximity switch bracket. The machine cycled, causing the employee's left middle finger to be pulled between the arbor and the embossing stamper. The finger was amputated between the first and second knuckles.
