Employee Partially Amputates Finger on Table Saw

At around 9:00 a.m. on September 13, 2013, Employee #1, a Case Wood Manager with Wise Living Inc., was cutting a dado and a rabbit on a piece of plywood on a table saw, in order to build some furniture (hand-fed Rockwell International table saw; Model Number: S115 F; Serial Number: B 1800381). He removed the hood guard from the table saw and made the cut to the wood. The plywood board bound up and shot backwards. Employee #1's hands moved forward into contact with the table saw blade. Employee #1 was transported to a medical clinic, where he was treated for a finger amputation. Employee #1 was hospitalized. The investigation concluded that at the time of the accident there was not a hood guard on the table saw as required by the standard. As a result, the Division issued a serious accident related citation for T8CCR 4300.1. (a).
