Abstract: At approximately 8:00 a.m. on August 15, 2002, Employee #1 was using a worm-drive circular saw ("SkilSaw" model HD77M, 13 Amperage, unknown serial number), to cut notches in 2-by-4s for use as stakes for a concrete form. He was cutting a notch when the saw jumped and came down on his left wrist. He sustained a laceration and tendon damage, for which he was hospitalized for more that 24 hours, and underwent surgery. Subsequent physical therapy enabled Employee #1 to regain use of his injured wrist.
