Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 18, 1990, Employee #1, the company owner, was ripping a 1/2 in. by 1 1/2 in. by 18 in. piece of wood with a 10-inch Craftsman radial arm saw. He was using a push stick with his right hand and was holding the left end of the wood when the saw kicked the wood forward, causing his left hand to jerk toward the blade. His index finger was amputated to the second knuckle. He was transported by paramedics to UC-Irvine Medical Center for treatment. Causal factors in this accident were that Employee #1 was ripping the wood in the direction in which the saw blade was turning, and failure to use the anti-kickback device. The saw had the required guard and there was a label at the rear of the guard that read "Warning - Do Not Rip From This End."
