Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on June 1, 1990, Employee #1 was using a Husqvarna chain saw, model 266, with a 15 in. bar, to cut down a stump at approximately 4 to 6 in. above ground level. The stump began to fall back onto the chain. The throttle was still engaged and when Employee #1 attempted to push the stump back, the chain saw kicked back. The saw contacted his knee, injuring his kneecap, tendons, and ligaments. Employee #1 had been employed for three months and had been trained for two months.
