Narrative

EE was getting set up to use a threading machine for some conduit. EE was adjusting the machine & finishing up by tightening the adjustment nut using an adjustable wrench. The wrench came off the nut & the forward motion caused EE's hand to hit the reamer attachment, causing a cut to middle finger on right hand. EE received 9 stitches as a result.
