Narrative

EE attempted to dislodge a paper bag which was pinned in the packing machine. When opening the top to gain access to the pinned bag the electrical power automatically shuts down as a safety measure but apparently the air lines maintained pressure causing the rake to move foward when he was removing the bag causing him an open wound.
