## Narrative

An employee was adjusting the chuck on a roll fed machine. He released the sidewall carriage chuck to decrease the tension and used his left hand to manually operate the lever while holding the core with this right hand. His right thumb was then caught between the roll core and the sidewall carriage chuck, resulting in a right thumb amputation.
