## Narrative

Two employees were changing the cups in a pump. The pump was started up to put the machine in reverse, which would get the cylinder cup out to the end of the material cylinder so the cup could be removed. The swing tube switched, and an employee's right thumb and index finger were caught in it. The employee suffered amputations to the thumb and finger.
