Narrative

An employee was using a press, a spacer, and a lift. The press and the spacer were being used together but were not permanently affixed to each other. At the end of the order, the employee clamped the spacer and the press together with a C-clamp and tried to remove them from the operation by flipping the press over. His fingers were pinched in the gap between the press and the spacer next to the C-clamp.
