Abstract: At 11:00 a.m. on January 10, 2020, an employee was cutting lumber with a Makita skill saw at a new construction jobsite. The employee was cutting down pieces of lumber that were 2-inch by 6-inch pieces of wood approximately 8 to 10 feet in length that were nailed together that were used as frames to hold prefabricated walls used at the job site. The employee was using the skill saw to cut through the wood when his saw became stuck. The employee lifted the saw while it was still running and his finger made contact with the blade. The employee was hospitalized to treat an amputation to the tip of his left thumb.
