## Narrative

An employee working for a contractor was using a 6"" inch DeWalt angle grinder on the corner of a new cold fee bin to prepare to weld.  When he began to grind the surface in a vertical fashion, the grinder ""kicked"" back at the employee striking him above his right eye and on the right side of his nose.
