## Narrative

An employee was performing training tasks on the bead unit. A bead wire began to wrap around the drum so the trainer cut the wire and reclosed the interlocked gate. The injured employee/trainee then went to clear the wire that was hanging from the drum and had their finger pinched between two of the chucks, resulting in a left index fingertip amputation.
