Employee's Fingers Caught by Guard and Amputated by Saw

On January 2, 2008, Employee #1, a ten inch saw operator, used both of his hands to press an aluminum block against the back gauge of the saw to prevent this block from rolling off of the end of the machine. While the employee fed this metal block into the cutting area, the aluminum support rib for the saw's point of operation guard caught the employee's right pinky finger and ring finger. Employee #1 suffered total amputation of the right pinky finger and near amputation of the ring finger; he was hospitalized.
