The employee was pushing the board with his left hand. When he reached to turn the power switch off with his right hand, the board kicked back, and his left hand was pulled into the blade. One finger was amputated by the saw, and two other fingers lacerated. The employee was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment. A physician treated the amputation and needed to surgically amputate the two severely lacerated fingers.
