Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on June 12, 2007, Employee #1 was operating a Skil Saw Model Number 77 powered hand saw to cut 2-inch by 4-inch wood to build a frame to install a window air conditioner. The saw did not have a hinged lower guard to protect the user from injury when cutting wood. The saw kicked back during the cutting operation, and with the bottom guard missing, amputated the tip of Employee #1's left thumb. He was transported to a nearby hospital but not hospitalized for his injury.
