Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(h)(1): Radial saws. The upper hood shall completely enclose the upper portion of the blade down to a point that will include the end of the saw arbor. The upper hood shall be constructed in such a manner and of such material that it will protect the operator from flying splinters, broken saw teeth, etc., and will deflect sawdust away from the operator. The sides of the lower exposed portion of the blade shall be guarded to the full diameter of the blade by a device that will automatically adjust itself to the thickness of the stock and remain in contact with stock being cut to give maximum protection possible for the operation being performed. On or about April 8, 2025, at an establishment located at 2239 East Glendale Avenue in Appleton, Wisconsin, in Plant 3 - Skid Shop; employees were exposed to point-of-operation hazards while utilizing the DeWalt radial arm saw (Model: GE, Serial: 74669) to cut notches in lumber for pallets when the guard intended to cover the sides of the lower portion of the blade was stuck in the up position. The lower portion of the blade was not guarded by a self-adjusting guard.
