Narrative

An employee was operating a band saw to cut an aluminum bar. The saw had a front hydraulic shuttle to hold objects and a rear hydraulic shuttle to push objects forward. The employee was reaching the end of the aluminum bar and the bar began to slip. As the employee went to steady the bar, the front hydraulic shuttle closed on the employee's ring and little fingers. Their fingertip was broken and they sustained lacerations to the ring and little finger.
