Employee is injured while cleaning saw

On September 8, 2003, Employee #1 was using compressed air to remove sawdust from the inside of a pop-up saw enclosure, CANTEK, Model Number CS-18L, Serial Number 33893, located in a woodworking shop. As he was applying compressed air to blow the sawdust into an exhaust system, the blade of the saw was spinning inside the enclosure. For some reason, Employee #1's right hand came into contact with the blade, severing his middle and ring fingers, as well as lacerating the remaining fingers. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
