## Narrative

EE was changing flushing head on the Cannon Jumbo drill. He then unscrewed the drill steel and tried to beat the retainer ring to get it loose. He pulled the hoses using his left arm against the slide, which wasn't a good location. He let go of the hoses and noticed his left arm was bleeding but he felt no pain. He had a laceration which required 3 sutures to the left forearm.
