## Narrative

EE was helping oiler change the cutting edges on a motor grader he had been operating. As EE unscrewed the last nut (edges come bolted together) the cutting edges fell faster than expected, pinching his left pointer finger, resulting in the loss of a small part of finger tip (approx. 1/4"" X 1/2""). All PPE was being worn/used at the time, including gloves.
