Final narrative
An employee was operating a paper cutter machine that cuts and folds paper into envelopes of different sizes. Part of the process is to stick adhesive onto the envelopes. The adhesive is poured into a reservoir located directly underneath a set of gears (sprockets). The operator was trying to remove a piece of paper that had fallen onto the reservoir when their right index finger was caught in the gears and amputated.
