Investigation Summary
At 7:45 a.m. on July 29, 2020, an employee was using a 10 inch SawStop Model 1CS53230 Industrial Cabinet Saw cutting a 1.65 inch by 1.75 inch block out of plastic. There were cut blocks building up near the blade so the employee used his right hand to clear the blocks away. As the employees was clearing the blocks away his right thumb made contact with the unguarded blade. The employee amputated his thumb down to the first knuckle joint and required medical treatment. The employee was not hospitalized.
