Abstract: An employee was cleaning up material. When he bent under a trim saw to clean under it, he contacted the frame of the saw and was electrocuted. A circuit conductor for a 480-volt dust collection motor had come loose and became welded to the frame of the motor. The ground fault had energized the frame of the trim saw, which had been sitting outside in the rain.
