Abstract: At approximately 3:25 p.m. on May 19, 1992, Employee #1, of Dan Long Cabinet, was cutting a 24 in. by 3 in. by 3/4 in. poplar board that was to be part of a cabinet. The type of cut Employee #1 was attempting is called a drop-cut, which involves marking the board for stops and starts in order to cut the center of the board without cutting the edges. The board bound up and kicked back. Employee #1's left hand was thrown against the blade of the saw. He sustained an amputated little finger, a shattered second joint of the ring finger, and a shattered second knuckle of the index finger. Employee #1 required hospitalization.
