## Narrative

A mechanic was manually sliding/positioning a D11 corner bit on the back of his service truck so that it could be unloaded by a forklift when his right ring finger and middle finger were pinched between the cutting edge and the rail on the truck bed. His gloved fingers were lacerated on the back of the hand requiring 3 stitches each to close the wounds.
