Narrative

Miner was running a 1 inch impact wrench to take bolts out of a cutting edge on the front bucket of a 990H. One bolt got lodged in the socket and he tried taking it out with his hand while slowly turning the socket to jar it loose. A sharp edge then cut into the glove cutting his hand right below his thumb on his left hand.
