An employee was adjusting the high/low switch on his truck-mounted welder. He was turning around when he lost his footing because it had just rained and his truck bed was slick. He went to steady himself and reached to grab onto something with his hands. His right hand slid underneath the cowling of his welder and two fingers were severely lacerated by the motor fan blades.
