Employee was pulling check valve out of a hydraulic control valve on a 313 Excavator that had high pressure oil in it. When the valve was pulled, the pressure cut left index finger, which allowed oil to enter his finger. Went to ER but only was given an Rx, no stitches and was released back to work.
