Incident on Jun 2, 2019: Employee lacerates forehead when hit by piston

At 5:05 p.m. on June 2, 2019, an employee was removing a piston from a brake assembly of the Splicer 7020 machine. The machine was stopped and power was turned off and power switch was locked in the off position. The employee took the whole brake assembly out because the piston was not coming out by itself. The employee took the brake assembly to the shop and tried to remove the piston with a hammer but it would not come out. The employee then connected compressed air hose to the housing assembly. As he turned the air on, the piston suddenly popped out and hit him in the forehead. The employee was hospitalized to treat a laceration to his forehead.
