Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a shop teacher, was demonstrating to a student how to make a groove in a piece of wood using a table saw fitted with a dado blade. As Employee #1 was starting the cut, the piece of wood kicked back toward him, forcefully striking the palm of his right hand. At the same time the wood moved out from under the fingers of Employee #1's left hand, causing his fingers to come into contact with the cutting blades. Employee #1 suffered a serious laceration to the palm of his right hand, partial amputation of the left index and middle fingers, and lacerations to the left thumb and ring finger, and was hospitalized.
