Narrative

After belt replacement on #2 granular screw, #1 screw became inoperative. Maintenance determined the screw was plugged and would have to be cleaned and belts replaced. The mill operator reached behind the front guard to grab belts to try to rotate the pulley. The pressure on the pulley suddenly started the drive pulley turning, pinching his fingers between belt and pulley.
