Final narrative
An employee was broaching a keyway in a bore sprocket with a manually operated powered cylinder hydraulic press. On pressing the broach through the initial phase of cutting, he used an extension rod to finish broaching and clear the broach from the part. While setting up the extension rod, he placed his left index finger on top of the extension rod. The press extended and crushed his finger, resulting in an amputation.
