Technician had unloaded engine with service truck crane and placed it on the ground. Was disconnecting hooks from engine. Had left hand on lifting hook and needed to reduce tension to release hook. Meant to push the hoist down button on crane control but hit the boom out increasing hook tension, pinching finger.
