Abstract: At 12:00 a.m. on September 19, 2018, an employee was cutting aluminum gutter with a Kobalt miter saw (Kobalt seven and one quarter inch Compact Sliding, Single-Bevel Miter Saw Model Number 0857240, Serial Number 027377). The employee operated the saw with his right hand and retracted the guard with his right thumb while using his left hand to reach under the saw to pull the next piece of gutter into position to cut. During this procedure, the employee's left forearm made contact with the saw blade that cut through three tendons in the arm. The employee was hospitalized to reattach the tendons.
