Abstract: At approximately 10:30 a.m. on April 21, 2009, Employee #1, a maintenance technician, was operating a portable Ryobi Table Saw with a 10 in. blade. He used the saw to make a diagonal cut through a piece of wood with dimensions of 1 ft wide by 2 in. high by 4 ft long. The saw did not have a guard, or an anti-kickback device. As Employee #1 was cutting the piece of wood, he hit a knot and his left hand was pulled into the rotating blade. The blade partially amputated his left pinky finger and lacerated his left index, middle, and ring fingers. He was transported to Sansum Clinic in Carpinteria, CA, where he was treated for his injuries and hospitalized.
