## Narrative

An employee was operating a conduit-fitting pull test machine when he noticed the cable was not fully seated in the jaws. He pushed down the cable into the jaws. When the cable clicked into position, the machine finished the cycle with his fingertip still inside it, resulting in an amputation. The machine was guarded and had a light curtain on at the time of the incident.
