Narrative

An employee was helping to change out a cylinder on a press. He was putting the cylinder arms down to put the cylinder in place. As he stepped over the driveshaft to pull the pin and roll the cylinders, he lost balance and started to fall forward. He dropped the cylinder arm to regain his balance and the arm came down on his right index finger and amputated the fingertip.
