EE stated he had just completed installation of his roof bolt and moved the boom over to install the third roof bolt. Before starting installation of the third roof bolt he stepped back towards the roof bolter to change the bit on the drill steel. While he was in the process of changing the drill bit two rocks fell from the mine roof and struck his right leg between ankle and knee.
