Employee Amputates Finger While Cutting Molding

At approximately 6:00 a.m. on October 15, 2001, Employee #1 was working in the custom bench department, cutting moldings 1 inch thick with a circular hand-fed Powermatic table saw. The safety guard could not be used when cutting molding that was 1 inch thick. The miter was cut at a 45-degree angle. While making the cut, Employee #1's glove became caught in the blade of the miter saw, pulling his left hand into the blade. Employee #1 had lacerations on his left ring finger, and his left middle finger was amputated. A coworker wrapped Employee #1's fingers with rags. Employee #1 was driven to a local hospital by his supervisor.
