He was using a Skilsaw to cut a 28 ft piece of scrap lumber into three sections. Employee #1 was not paying attention and on the third or fourth cut he ran the saw across the tip of his left thumb, removing the nail, and then through his left index finger at the joint, severely mangling the end section. He was transported to Roseville Community Hospital, where his left index finger was amputated.
