    The victim was cutting aluminum material on a machine when their right little finger was cut by the spinning blade. The blade had not fully stopped rotating after the previous cut. Additionally, the protective cover and cutter had failed to return to their fixed positions due to a worn guide bar. As a countermeasure, workers must now confirm equipment is completely stopped before working and implement inspection lists to check protective covers and equipment.
