Narrative

Went to unplug #3 screw w/air hose, was holding himself up w/left hand, operating air hose w/right. Slipped & saw his hand slip into screw, at the same time I pulled the trip cord but not quick enough. When he pulled his hand out I realized my fingertip was missing. The screw was guarded & had trip wire, small opening for maintenance only, to view for proper operation.
