A mechanic was using a pneumatic cut-off tool to cut slag from a loader bucket, as he started to cut, the new wheel on the cut-off tool broke into 3 pieces. One piece struck him in the side of his left hand, cutting it through his glove. He was taken to the ER and recieved 6 stitches to close the wound.
