Investigation Summary
At 9:00 a.m. on January 22, 2007, Employee # was cutting a piece of lumber of 2 in. by 4 in. using a portable circular saw, Model Number HD77M, at a construction jobsite located in Covina, California. He held the lumber with his left hand and the saw with the right hand. As he was cutting into the lumber, it may have hit a knot in the lumber, which caused the saw to kick back towards him. As a result, the saw lacerated and fractured his left thumb. Employee #1 was hospitalized for less than 24 hours at the Citrus Valley Hospital. The guard on the saw was working properly, and Employee #1 stated that he did not wedge the guard.
