A worker making glazing beads on a spindle moulder received serious injuries to his hand, including amputations, when it went into the cutters as a result of a kickback.
There was no false fence, tunnel guard or power feed fitted, so all the cutter block was exposed. The injuries were made much worse as ‘old style’ (non-chip limited tooling) was being used. A chip-limited block was available but had been left in a drawer unused.
