An employee was adjusting a sensor on an air cylinder. The machine was cycling to check the correct position when it faulted, so the employee went to re-position the sensor. Before he was finished, another employee at the controls reset the machine, causing the air cylinder to fire and pinch his finger between the air cylinder and top block of the assembly. His left index fingertip was amputated.
