Narrative

An employee was performing a rebuild of an auto-rehanger carriage, replacing the shaft and bearings. He had installed the last shaft bearing and realized that it was not seated properly. While working to remove the bearing with a hammer, he struck the bearing housing; the shaft and bearing housing dropped approximately one inch, catching his left middle fingertip against the machine frame. The employee sustained an amputation to the finger.
