## Narrative

Employee was using a grinder to remove small section of the belt feed chute.  He was using all required PPE & a properly maintained grinder.  As the employee was cutting the metal, the 6"" blade became lodged & jumped out of the employee's hands.  The resulting loss of contact allowed the grinder to contact the employee's left index finger.
