Narrative

An employee was cleaning a chute at the hub cutter station and was using a pneumatic chipping gun to remove a piece of steel. The chisel tip on the chipping gun got stuck, and when the piece of steel became free, the employee's finger was caught between the edge of the chute and the falling chipping gun, partially amputating their left index fingertip.
