Narrative

An employee was in the process of starting to line bore. During this time the employee was shaking a can of spray lubrication to prepare to lube the cut. During this action the employees hand encountered the boring head which then pinched EE's right thumb against the bearing plate. This caused a partial amputation of the right thumb, and a broken right ring finger.
