Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on October 18, 2017, an employee was using a Better by Design Powermatic table saw to make a dado cut in a piece of wood. The employee had removed the guard and splitter from the table saw and was making a test cut when the piece of wood kicked back and the employee's hand came into contact with the exposed dado blade. The employee amputated his left hand's pinky and suffered a severe laceration to his left palm. The employee was transported to Lawrence General Hospital by EMS personnel and was hospitalized.
