Narrative

An employee was troubleshooting a manure drive and attempting to change the timing by adjusting the tensioner on the drive chain when the chain caught his fingers, amputating half of his left middle finger and most of his left pinky finger and lacerating his left index and ring fingers. The three-phase switch next to the guard was off at the time.
