Narrative

An employee was drilling holes with a hammer drill, vacuum bit, and vacuum. He was starting a new hole and grabbed the bit with his left hand between the vacuum attachment and the drill chuck. The drill continued to spin, catching his glove/little finger and wrapping it up, resulting in the amputation of the finger.
