Narrative

EE was in the adjustment area on the jaw crusher trying to slide the block behind the toggle plate cover to center it up. The cylinder on the porta-power was at an angle and when pressure was applied, it kicked out and hit EE in the face and left arm. This resulted in 3 stitches between the nose and mouth.
