Final narrative
An employee had been running a weave machine which makes chain link. The employee made an adjustment by tightening a chain to a gear and then went to lunch. Upon returning from lunch, he turned on the machine and noticed the guard on the back of the machine was on the floor. The employee picked up the guard to put it back in place. The gear pulled in his gloved left hand and amputated the pads of the two middle fingers.
