Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on September 19, 1995, Employee #1, a ripsaw feeder at the cut line of Collins Pine Co., noticed a small fire inside a Mid Oregon, 12 in. arbor, 50 HP motor gang ripsaw at the reman plant at the cutline mill. He went to the side of the saw, opened the guard, and reached into the area between the roller and the secondary kick-back fingers. He entered the rip saw at a point 39 in. above the floor and 12 in. into the saw to the first blade. He was using a small stick to knock out the burning material when the stick caught in the turning blades and pulled his gloved hand into one or more of the four blades. His right thumb and index finger were amputated at the base and he was hospitalized. Employee #1 did not stop or lock out the ripsaw or use the blade lowering device. He had pushed the stop button but did not wait for the blades to coast to a stop.
