Investigation Summary
Employee #1, age 18 years old, was using a chop saw operated with a foot switch to cut lumber. Two of his right-hand fingers were hanging off the front edge of a board and he failed to remove his hand before he stepped on the foot control. Employee #1's hand contacted the rotating blade, amputating his little finger and half of his ring finger. The saw was immediately checked for guard positioning and was found to be adjusted properly. It was also checked for malfunctions and was found to be working properly.
