Showing all 3Employee was using John Deere 350 D Excavator to load dirt and he hit a hard spot in the ground. That caused the machine to raise up on the back side. When the material broke loose, the machine fell back to the ground hard.
EE alleges while he was cutting a piece of tubing with a cut-off wheel, the blade got pinched and the piece of steel moved. As it moved, he grabbed the steel and the blade went across his left thumbnail and side of thumb cutting it.
