Abstract: Employee #1, a sawyer, was using a beam saw set on manual mode to cut particleboard into pieces for assembly into cabinets. He was making a cut when an air line broke, allowing the blade to remain in the 'up' position. The saw blade returned to a position above the beam's surface. Employee #1 was reaching across the beam to position the material when his left hand contacted the rotating blade, amputating all four of his fingers.
