Employee Amputates Finger While Operating Circular Saw

On February 13, 2006, Employee #1 and a coworker, both carpenters, were involved in a high school renovation project. Employee #1 was cutting 14-inch long by 2-inch wide by 4-inch high fire blocks with a 7.25-inch circular skill saw, Model Number 77-46, while his coworker was nailing the cut pieces into position. As Employee #1 was cutting one of the fire blocks, holding it with his left hand, the saw blade became jammed and kicked back, amputating the tip of his left thumb. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his amputated thumb at the base of the distal phalanx, as well as multiple comminuted fracture fragments adjacent to the site of the amputation.
