On 2-26-24 EE was using a MAG drill to drill holes on the inside frame of a stacker. In operation EE attempted to clean the metal that was stuck to the drill bit. The drill bit caught EE's glove entangling EE's hand into the drill bit. An employee that was assisting hit the emergency stop on the drill. The entanglement resulted in a laceration to right hand.
