Technician was removing bottom guard from machine. Guard was held with a lifting strap attached to the work truck. When the guard was removed it shifted to one side caused by the material that was inside the guard. This resulted in EE's finger being caught between the ground and impact gun. This caused a laceration and broken bone on EE's left pointer finger.
