1. On 19th November 1987, the plaintiff, who is now 31 years of age, was operating a metal shearing machine, from which the guard had been removed, when the blade was activated by a pedal control operated by the plaintiff's co-worker, the 3rd defendant, at a time when the plaintiff's hand was in the vicinity of the cutting edge. As a result, the plaintiff lost part of 3 fingers from his dominant hand. The guard had not been removed by the plaintiff nor by his co-worker.
