Narrative

An employee had just finished changing the blade on a bindery machine. He lifted the area where the blade is to inspect it, when he noticed glue on the Allen head. The employee went to scrape it off and the blade partially amputated his right middle finger, and cut his right index, ring, and little fingers. The machine was running at the time.
