Narrative

An employee was working on the 102-2 envelope machine while it was running. The employee was loosening a bolt with a wrench when the wrench slipped and the employee's right hand entered the machine's scoring section that includes a shaft and two blades. The blades amputated the employee's right index finger to the middle phalanx.
