Abstract: Employee #1 works at a lumber yard and hardware store. The store has a small wood shop to custom cut doors for customers. Employee #1 was trimming the bottom of a door using Skil saw 771. A storm caused the electric current to go out and then come right back with a surge. The saw kicked back and caught Employee #1's ring finger. The saw blade cut off the finger at the first joint. The blade guard was down and in good working order. Employee #1 was experienced. The door was clamped onto the cutting table and a straight edge was clamped onto the door to guide the saw. No safely violations were cited.
