Abstract: At 4:00 p.m. on October 5, 2020, an employee was operating a Cut System USA 3200 sliding table saw. The employee was trying to trim a piece of wood composite, using the fence that was positioned on the right side of the blade. The wood composite piece was positioned in between the saw blade and fence. The employee was holding the wood composite piece with his right hand and began pushing the piece towards the rotating saw blade. As he continued to trim the wood composite, the trimmed piece jammed between the fence and the blade. As this occurred, his right hand propped toward the rotating saw blade, and the blade cut across the top of all five fingers of his right hand. All five fingers on the employee's right hand suffered deep lacerations with an amputation of two fingers.
