Then she put it down. We were waiting for the sealer to heat up and I saw her stretching her hand from underneath the heat sealer to grab a piece of paper (paper bag) and when I told her no, it was too late, the pulley from the heat sealer grabbed her glove and hand. She jerked her hand and got her hand out and the glove stayed in. I was trained to open the guard of the heat sealer to grab any piece of paper that might be there".
