## Narrative

Contract shaft miner was putting a new chain on an CS Unitec air chainsaw. The miner did not de-energize the airline connected to the air saw. The miner pulled the throttle lever and right hand was still in contact with the chain. This caused a laceration to the miners right palm area of hand which required 6 stitches.
