Event: 08/01/2002

Employee's Fingers Are Amputated While Operating Saw

On August 1, 2002, Employee #1 was operating a saw when two of his fingers slipped under the hold-down device and were amputated. Apparently, the point where the hood or hold-down device came in contact with the lumber was not adequately guarded to prevent the employee's fingers from slipping underneath it.
