Employee's finger amputated by motorized miter saw

At 4:10 p.m. on April 14, 1993, Employee #1 was using a Rockwell International motorized miter saw, 34-010 type II, serial #LY9679, operating at 7,000 rpm, to cut a 10 ft long, 1 in. by 4 in. baseboard. He was making a 45 degree angle cut on one end of the board when he amputated his left index finger at the nail. Employee #1 had been working at his job for two weeks, but he was experienced. The field superintendent said that Employee #1 was using his own miter saw, and that it was not equipped with a hood guard.
