Narrative

EE was pulling the guard from the cone to replace the V-belts. EE hooked the cone above EE's head in the belt frame. There are two holes to hook the cone to, the chain on the cone would not release so EE jerked on it a couple times and it came out of the hole and struck EE in the face. This caused a laceration of the upper lip that required stitches.
