Investigation Summary
On September 9, 2005, Employee #1 was operating a DeWalt 12-inch compound miter saw, Model Number DW708, Serial Number 66365, to cut a 6-inch wide piece of baseboard. The saw was mounted on a foldable table and adjusted for making a 45-degree cut. He lowered the saw blade with his right hand and held the baseboard in place with his left hand. As he was cutting the piece of baseboard, a section of the wood began to slide off the table. Employee #1 attempted to grab the wood by reaching with his left hand, which came into contact the rotating blade. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for amputated index and middle fingers, as well as injuries to his thumb and ring finger on his left hand. The accident investigation revealed that the saw was in fairly good condition and the retractable guard was working properly; however, the guard was retracted at the time of the accident due to being in the lowered position for cutting.
