Narrative

Using a battery-powered chainsaw to cut out foam stopping. Cutting upward so EE placed hand underneath and when EE did this, left ring finger entered the clean-out area of the chainsaw, resulting in EE's finger contacting the chain causing a laceration. Had on a cut-resistant glove which got pulled off, wadded up in the chain causing the brake to be applied to stop.
