## Narrative

Employee was pulling old motor leads from #1 ID fan drive - cutting the wires off with a Sawzall.  I was holding the large wires (3/4"" copper stranded) in my left hand and running the saw with my right hand.  I was bending the wire with my left hand when the saw drew my hand in.  I was wearing my cotton work gloves.
