Final narrative
An employee was trimming excess yarn off of the package. The excess yarn became entangled in his hand and fell back through the guide slot in the guard as the employee was cutting it. After falling through the guide slot, the yarn began to wrap around the over feed, pulling his hand against the guard causing the amputation of the left thumb, a laceration on the left pinky finger, and crushing the left ring finger.
