Narrative:

Upon arrival at gate from hangar overnight 'B' check. Report of first stage fan blade FOD. I was the last person in inlet. Performed 'maintenance manual chapter xx.' first stage blade compressor nick blending. I used 3 types of files, and emery paper to dress out marked blades for blending. Returned all equipment to kit. Did a visual inspection of inlet, and proceeded to clean out filings, to my best ability. I saw no items of tools left in engine, and was satisfied with removal of any filings of blades in the fan area. I understand that when aircraft reached gate, #1 engine fan was damaged, and company was calling out for a c- 1 disc change. Human performance on my part, I believe was not a factor. I have performed this task many of times. A visual inspection and clean up and tools return was accomplished. I had signed off at XA00 on the job card work performed to this engine. I left my work area at XA25. I did hear this aircraft running due to a CSD leak problem encountered during an engine check during the overnight maintenance, which also I was involved with. Which made getting to clean the #1 engine late (also performed #3 engine compressor blending on this aircraft at the same time). I was working as a lead, called for assistance to work this task, no assistance came for the type aircraft. As lead, I don't have to perform the task. Since problem with CSD was solved, and still had time on my shift, took task and performed task. Did not feel pressured, or rushed.
