Investigation Summary
Employee #1, age 19, was newly assigned to work with a hydraulic cut-off saw equipped with a foot-actuated air cylinder. He reached under the fixed guard, which covered the front of the saw and extended on both sides in a tunnel-like configuration. His gloved right hand became caught by the saw blade, and his right index finger had to be surgically amputated at the distal joint.
