This accident occurred at the movie set for the movie "About Schmidt" and Employee #1 was engaged in the cutting of lumber for the building of the movie sets. Employee #1 stated that he felt he was working too hard and too fast. There were miter saws for use in the facility but Employee #1 did not use this saw as Employee #1 had only the one cut to make.

Employee #1 cut his pointer finger, his ring finger, and amputated the first joint digit of his middle finger on his left hand. Employee #1 was not hospitalized.
