Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on January 23, 1992, Employee #1, of Remco Hydraulics, Inc., Willits, CA, was in the shipping department ripping 3/4 in. by 9 in. by 16 ft pine boards into 2 1/2 in. by 16 ft pieces to make shipping crates for hydraulic rams. He had ripped four boards on a Dayton table saw. As he was ripping the fifth board, he could not find his normal push stick, so he grabbed a small piece of wood to use in its place. As Employee #1 pushed the end of the board through the saw with his left hand, the piece of wood broke and his left thumb went into the blade. His thumb was amputated just below the nail. The Dayton table saw was equipped with an adjustable blade guard, spreader bar, and anti-kickback device. Employee #1 was transported to Howard Memorial Hospital.
