Abstract: Employee #1, a foreman for Dinwiddie, was cutting a 2 inch by 6 inch board that was approximately 30 inches long. While he was cutting with a drop foot saw, the blade hit a very hard knot in the board and was kicked up and out of the place being cut. Before the saw blade's guard could cover the turning blade, it landed on the employee's left wrist, making a very deep cut almost to the point of amputation.
