29 CFR 1910.213(j)(3):Each hand-fed jointer with a horizontal cutting head shall have an automatic guard which will cover all the section of the head on the working side of the fence or gage. The guard shall effectively keep the operator's hand from coming in contact with the revolving knives. The guard shall automatically adjust itself to cover the unused portion of the head and shall remain in contact with the material at all times. a) On or about June 17, 2021, the employer did not ensure that the Powermatic model PJ-882HH jointer was guarded in that the existing spring-loaded guard did not effectively keep the operator's hand from coming into contact with the revolving knives, resulting in an amputation.
