Final narrative
An employee was preparing to engage a tube line saw to cut a tube. Once the saw blade lowered and made contact with the tube, the tube jolted and pinned the employee s hand against the stop gate. As the employee's hand was caught, the tube kept rotating due to the momentum of the spinning the blade. The end of the tube cut the employee s right index finger, resulting in an amputation.
