Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:15 p.m. on July 28, 1998, Employee #1 was using a router, routing plastic paddles for swimming. He noticed that the vacuum dust collector on the router was clogged. The employee tried to shake the unit to clear the clogged material. As he grabbed the unit, his left index and middle finger hit the moving fan blades on the vacuum blower, resulting in severe lacerations and multiple fractures on his left index and middle finger. Surgery was performed on his hand on September 25, 1998. Employee #1 stated that the moving blades of the vacuum blower fan were not guarded and the dust collector motor was on when he tried to clear the clogged material by shaking the dust collector unit.
