Narrative

Operator was working at the case erector which has an adjustable guard. The guard is held up vertically by a set screw on a support post. A second set screw prevents the post from going all the way through the case erector. The operator let go of the post causing it to slide through the hole it rides in, and the above stop fell and cut the operators hand.
