Employee #1, of Closet World in Whittier, CA, was assembling a closet inside his truck. The truck had all the necessary woodworking equipment to do custom work; once completed, a closet is then taken into a client's home and assembled in the kitchen or bedroom.

Employee #1 had removed the saw's guard before the accident, exposing the blade.
