Narrative

An employee was clearing a broken board that was wedged between the hold down, the table, and the cutter head guard of a planer. A piece of the board caught the employee's glove and pulled their right hand between the cutter head guard and the hold down. The employee's index, middle, and ring fingers contacted the cutter head and sustained lacerations between the fingernail and the first knuckle. The middle and ring fingers were amputated at the first knuckle.
