## Narrative

While the EE was removing the attaching hardware for a cutting edge on a loader he positioned the bolt with his left hand while the impact wrench was still on the nut. He accidentally hit the trigger on the air tool which caused the nut to spin, lacerating his finger. He was evaluated, received seven stitches and was released with restrictions.
