## Narrative

An employee was helping with the transition of boards from the outfeed conveyor of a rip saw to the offloading conveyor. The employee went to dislodge a board from the feed roller when another piece of cut material began entering the feed roller, activating the sensor. The roller closed on the employee's fingers, causing crush injuries that resulted in surgical amputation of the fingertips. The machine was not fully guarded at the time.
