Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on April 9, 2009, Employee #1 was working at a saw mill. Employee #1 was cutting a 2-in. by 2-in. by 9-ft piece of lumber with a Precision Product cut-off saw. Employee #1 held the piece in place with a hand on each sides of the blade. The blade stalled, apparently hitting a knot, and then went on running. The lumber broke and twisted around causing Employee #1's left hand to contact the blade. The tip of Employee #1's left middle finger was amputated. The original narrative listed the accident as a fatality.
