Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a table saw with an attached pneumatic sensor. His foot was on the air operated foot pedal. Employee #1 saw a scrap of wood in the cutting area, and went in to remove it. As he leaned forward, the pneumatic sensor read his hand and activated the foot pedal, causing the saw blade to release. Two of Employee #1's fingers and a thumb were amputated. Despite a 10-hour operation, doctors could not save the digits.
