Employee cuts fingers while adjusting table saw

At approximately 11:15 p.m. on March 16, 2004, Employee #1, working at a lumber company, was setting up a table saw to cut laminated lumber. He unlocked the horizontal fence and raised the hood guard. He decreased the cut size and pushed a laminated alder wood block through the saw blade. He then reached up to remove the cutting scrap and made contact with the saw blade, cutting his ring, middle, and index fingers on his left hand. He then reached up with his right hand and nicked his index finger.
