## Narrative

Employee was cleaning out the #3 dust collector dropoint. An area above the dropoint was plugged with fine wet material. He put the left hand up to clear the material. Forgot about moving parts and misjudged the distance clearing so tip of finger was lacerated in the rotary vein feeder. Taken to E.R. for sutures, making this reportable.
