Abstract: On December 18, 2003, Employee #1 was using a Makita table saw to cut trim for a countertop. The saw did not have a hood guard, spreader, or anti-kickback device. Employee #1 placed his left hand on the trim as it fed out from the blade. The trim squeezed the blade and kicked back. His hand slipped from the counter top and struck the moving blade, amputating his left ring and middle fingers.
