Investigation Summary
At 8:00 a.m. on August 14, 2020, an employee accessed the front end adjustment knob on the Kolbus HD150 bindery trimmer by opening the infeed door. The interlock on the door was not operational. While adjusting the knob with his right hand, the employee's left hand was resting on the side of the adjustment mechanism. The machine cycled pinching his left index finger in the mechanism. The employee crushed his fingertip, requiring hospitalization and surgical amputation.
