## Narrative

EE was in the process of repairing a belt splice. When the belt was placed into the Flexco 840 belt cutting device, the blade was not in the fully retracted position, which exposed the cutting blade. EE's hand slipped and came into contact with the cutting blade, causing a laceration at the pinky joint.
