Narrative

An employee was reloading staples into the staple driver on a bead building machine. When loading the staple driver into the machine, one of the wires to hold the tray in place popped out of the pulley. As the employee attempted to realign the pusher wire, their right middle finger was caught between the staple driver and the pulley bracket, resulting in an amputation to the finger.
