Employee's finger lacerated when struck by router blade

On November 9, 2000, Employee #1 had set a windshield piece in a jig and was preparing to use a router to trim it. He set the router on the piece and then plugged the router into a nearby electrical outlet. The "on and off" switch on the router had either been left in the "on" position by a previous user or got pushed to the "on" position while unwrapping the electric cord. When Employee #1 plugged it in, it was immediately energized and "jumped" toward the employee. Employee #1 put his hand out for protection and the router blade hit his left index finger causing a severe laceration. Employee #1 was taken to Providence Holy Cross Hospital for emergency treatment. He was hospitalized. The company manufactures after market aircraft parts.
