Employee's four fingers amputated in chop saw

At 8:20 on June 16, 1988, Employee #1 lifted the guard to thread a new line of pipe into a chop saw and actuated the saw, but, because the guard was left up, the saw did not make a complete cut from the bottom of the pipe in an up stroke. Thinking he could push down on the top of the pipe to get a clean cut directly over the saw blade, Employee #1 placed his left hand under the guard and pushed his own hand into the saw, amputating four fingers. Employee #1 was rushed to the hospital with his fingers. Although he had been at this job for only one month, he had been trained.
