Narrative

EE was bolting with a jackleg drill and as he attempted to insert the split bolt driver that was in the chuck into the bolt he lost his footing and the machine continued to move forward and rotated back on the swivel to the locked back position. At this moment his left middle finger was in the pinch point of the machine.
