Narrative

An employee was using a drill press to countersink holes so that the finished holes would be flush. He was adjusting the height of the machine when his glove made contact with the spindle. The glove ripped on the spindle, and his right middle and ring fingers made contact with the point of operation. He suffered amputations to both fingertips.
