## Narrative

Employee was trying to dislodge tramp metal from the Big Ball Mill feeder by rotating the drive sheave on the gearbox.  When he rotated it forward it finally stopped and would not go further.  When he let go of the sheave, the outer edge of the sheave cut the palm of his right hand.  There were no v-belts attached as they were burned off when the feeder choked down.
