## Narrative

An employee was removing a fabricated roll cage from a tractor using a 4 1/2-inch grinder with a metal cutoff wheel. The employee started cutting the weld. When the employee got to the end of the cut, the wheel hit the center between the tubing and kicked back, jerking the grinder from the employee's hands. The grinder lacerated the employee's hand.
