## Narrative

An employee was operating a manual lathe, machining an auger journal end. The employee pressed the stop control, and the lathe started slowing down. The employee attempted to visually inspect the part and placed his left hand on the steady rest to get a better view. His hand then slipped and struck the spinning auger, resulting in medical amputation of the left pinky finger.
