Narrative

An employee and a coworker were positioning a wood panel on the bed of a milling machine when the coworker turned on the milling machine vacuum system. The vacuum sucked the wood panel down into the milling machine, and the panel pinched and amputated the employee's right middle fingertip between it and the milling machine bed.
