Final narrative
A sanitation employee was spraying the inside of the dough chunker machine to clear the dough out. The employee was on the blade side of the chunker machine. The employee checked the chunker when the cleaning process was done and saw a piece of dough still stuck inside. He reached to remove the dough from the machine and the blade caught his glove and left middle finger, amputating the fingertip. The machine was running and was guarded at the time.
