Investigation Summary
On June 11, 2002, Employee #1 was using a 16-inch bandsaw to cut decorative rafter tails for new home construction. The rafter tails were being cut from a 4-foot by 6-foot piece of lumber and were 4-feet in length. Employee #1 was guiding the rafter with his left hand when the saw blade became struck on a knot in the wood. The wood kicked back, causing him to overcompensate and his left hand lunged into the band saw blade. Employee #1's left index finger was severed, as well as his middle finger severely cut.
