Narrative

Employee was taking the mechanism off the old screen from line 17. After cutting the last huck bolt off, he took a drift pin to punch the bolt out. When he did this the mechanism dropped down & drove the drift pin against the screen pinching his hand between the screen and the drift pin. This resulted in 3 stitches.
