During the set-up of a SY 1188 Swing Yarder, Employee #1 approached the third guy line drum as the guy line was being pulled out (paid out) by a bulldozer.

Employee #1 missed the post and placed his hand on the cover over the guy line drum. Part of the drum was not guarded. Employee #1's little finger on his left hand was amputated by the dog gears on the drum. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
