Narrative

An employee was trying to put a cable back onto the pulley of a furnace door when his gloved left index finger was caught between the cable and the groove of the pulley. The cable tightened and the employee tried to pull his gloved hand out. At that time, the cable amputated his left index finger to the second knuckle.
