Event: 07/18/1996

Employee's finger amputated in table saw

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on July 18, Employee #1 was working in a cabinet shop in Sacramento, CA. He was using a 10 in. table saw to cut 1 in. strips of plywood. Employee #1 was completing a cut when the blade became caught on a knot in the wood. The saw kicked back the 1 in. strip and knocked Employee #1's hand into the blade, severely lacerating his middle finger. He was driven to a nearby medical facility and then transferred to a hospital, where his finger was amputated to the second joint. A blade guard was not required and none was in use.
