The unguarded foot petal exposed employees to amputation hazards from accidental actuation while the point of operation guard was removed.    A feasible abatement method to correct this hazard is to comply with the requirements of ANSI B11.4-2003 Safety Requirements for Shears E6.3, Section 6.3.3.3 Actuating Means.
