The employee removed the guard to gain access to the lower sections of the machine. While the machine was still in operation with the guards removed, the employee's glove got caught on a part of the chain, gear or sprocket and pulled her hand into the machine. The employee was hospitalized to treat crushing injuries to her right ring and pinky fingers requiring surgery.
