Narrative

An employee was reinstalling a 200-pound drive motor shaft in a mold machine, holding the shaft while aligning it and inserting it into the machine's shaft hole. The employee's left little finger was caught between a bearing on the shaft and the hole; the tip of the finger was amputated below the first knuckle.
