Final narrative
An employee was attempting to thread a drawblock on a dry drawing machine by placing a come-a-long chain on the drawblock head when the machine malfunctioned, causing the drawblock to suddenly turn. The chain then tightened and pinched the employee's right ring finger, causing an open fracture and amputating the fingertip.
