## Narrative

An employee was operating an angle line fabricator. The angle iron rolls in and it's measured and cut to length by the machine. The employee was adjusting the punch that cuts the angle iron with a wrench between cycles. The punch came down. The angle iron got stuck on the punch and retracted with the punch crushing the tip of the employee's left middle finger between the angle iron and the machine.
