## Narrative

Had just replaced belts on magnetite auger. Found the pipe stopped up on the feed tube. While attempting to unstop the pipe, EE grabbed the belts and pulled on them to help the motor get started. When the belts moved, they caught his hand, pulling it through between the belts and pulley.
