Narrative

An employee changed a former machine setting to make a smaller popcorn tin container and then energized the machine. He found that one of the tin sheets was jammed and was trying to unjam it when the machine was activated. His left hand was caught between the forming mechanism and the mandrel (forms the tin sheet to a cylinder), lacerating it and requiring hospitalization and surgery.
