Final narrative
An employee was operating a tube cut-off machine when there was a mis-cut resulting in a longer piece of tubing exiting the machine. The operator saw the mis-cut and reached to remove the tubing. The next tube to be cut struck the end of the tube the operator was trying to remove, causing the employee's fingers to be pinned between the end of the tube and the exit chute. The employee sustained amputation of his left index finger.
