Narrative

An employee was attempting to free an approximately 1/8" piece of plastic material lodged in a saw blade channel. He was wearing gloves and using his left middle finger to quickly sweep the material away when the running saw blade caught the glove and pulled his left middle finger into the blade, amputating it between the distal and middle joint.
