Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on August 19, 1998, Employee #1, a technician for Thermatron Engineering, Inc., in Methuen MA, was using a Mackenzie table saw, model #58650, to cut off approximately 1 in. from the length of pieces of CDA 110 copper tubing to be used in a heat exchange unit. He had already cut about 12 pieces when he shouted to coworkers for help because he had amputated the end of his right little finger.
