Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a portable electric circular saw to cut a 3 in. wide strip from the end of a 3/16 in. thick by 30 in. wide sheet of paneling. The paneling was lying on a pile of other material. As he started the cut, he placed his left hand close to the saw blade to apply pressure to keep the panel from moving. While the saw blade was beside his hand, Employee #1 released or let up on the panel, causing the saw to bind, kick up and back, and strike his left hand between the thumb and first finger. Thirteen stitches were required to close the wound.
