Final narrative
An employee was working at a wrapper on a recoiler, wrapping a coil with plastic. A pigtail became caught on a pipe; while an employee was pushing it back into a working position, the machine engaged and its rotating bearing hit the employee's left hand. The employee suffered partial amputations to the middle and ring fingers. The machine was unguarded at the time.
