Narrative

Employee was re-installing the drill bit on the Ingersoll/Rand drill. He had lifted the bit collar up to thread the bit into the hammer. The bit seemed to be in a bind, so he bumped the hammer with his shoulder to straighten it out. The hydraulic pressure had bled down, binding the steel. His left index & middle fingers were caught between the bit & the bit collar.
