Investigation Summary
On June 16, 1998, Employee #1, a carpenter, was cutting wood in a woodworking shop for table legs with a table saw. The legs were approximately 2.5 ft to 3 ft long. As he was finishing a cut on one of the legs, the scrap piece of the wood he had cut raised up and Employee #1 tried to grab it. The wood pulled his hand into the blade and it severed three fingers of his left hand. The saw was equipped with a blade guard, anti-kickback device, and a factory made push stick. Employee #1 was not using any of these safety devices. He was taken to by paramedics for emergency treatment and then transferred to another hospital for further treatment.
