Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on February 8, 2000, Employee #1 was ripping strips of 8-ft-long plywood using a Rockwell industrial table saw. The saw blade was adjusted 2 inches above the table and 1.25 inches above the material and was not equipped with the factory guard, spreader and anti-kickback device. He cut the ply wood several times length wise making 5.25 inch wide strips. He was in the final process of cutting the material into 5.25 inch strips. He was holding the material against the fence with his left hand and pushing the material past the blade with his right without a push stick. His left hand contacted the unguarded saw blade amputating three fingers and he was hospitalized.
