Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170611925

Event: 03/26/1999

Employee injured when impaled by flying piece of wood

Employee #1 was using a Mattison rip saw, model #202, to straight line a 10 ft by 4 in. by 2 3/4 in. maple board. He adjusted the saw to cut a clean edge on the board and then put the board into the self-feeding saw. The drop-off from the cut became lodged under the stock. After it had been cut, he reached for the board to pull it back. The 1/8 in. by 2 3/4 in. drop-off caught the blade of the rip saw and kicked back, striking and impaling Employee #1. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
