Employee killed when struck in neck by masonry saw

At approximately 10:20 a.m. on August 17, 2007, Employee #1, a laborer, was using a gas-powered Stihl masonry saw, model TM400, with a 14 in. diamond blade. He was using the hand-operated saw to cut through a 2 in. by 8 in. wooden plank that was about 2 in. off the ground and that formed part of the frame for a new curb gutter at the site. Employee #1 was finishing the cut when the saw kicked up and the saw blade struck him in the neck. First aid was administered at the site. Employee #1 was then transported to Junction City Hospital, where he died.
