After clearing a plugged cement feed chute underneath a silo, the injured employee asked a coworker to "bump" the rotary feeder to confirm material flow had resumed. The rotary feeder's inspection port was open, and dust was escaping until the injured employee covered the hole. Material then built up and prevented a visual inspection inside the feeder. The injured employee then instructed the coworker at the operating switch to stop the machine. While the feeder was still rotating due to inertia, the injured employee pushed the packed material out of the inspection port. A rotating blade partially amputated their right index fingertip.
