While using gas to cut a bushing, some ignited grease came gushing out, burning a worker's face. |
The worker was using gas to try to cut a bushing piece. When he cut as far as the interior spacer, grease remaining in the grease reservoir reached a high temperature, creating high internal pressure. The grease ignited and came gushing out, burning the worker's face.
