While removing a pin to drop the belly pan on the D-10 dozer, the Miner was using a bar to leverage the pan and remove the pin. When the pin came out, the pan dropped, causing the bar to jerk downwards and smashing the miner's finger against the track. The Miner sustained a cut on the middle finger of his right hand.
