Narrative

An employee was changing plates on a paper envelope machine. He was holding a metal plate with one hand and using his free hand to jog the machine when his right hand was pulled into the machine's moving parts. His middle finger sustained severe lacerations that required stitches, while the tip and first joint of his pointer finger were amputated.
