Final narrative
A maintenance employee was completing work on a metal shaft that was in a milling machine. The employee turned the milling equipment on and was polishing the end of the rotating shaft with a piece of emery cloth. During the process, his glove or the emery cloth wrapped around the rotating shaft, pulling his hand onto the shaft. He suffered a dislocation to his left little finger, as well as an avulsion and partial amputation to a left distal fingertip.
