Investigation Summary
On November 14, 2013, Employee #1, a 33-year-old male journeyman carpenter with Torre Reich Construction, was using a Skillsaw to cut 1 in. shims from a 2 in. by 4 in. board. As Employee #1 went to reposition the saw and start a new cut, with the saw blade stopped, he reached down with his left hand to pull the bottom guard back so he could place the blade directly against the wood. As Employee #1 did this, he inadvertently squeezed the trigger with his right hand as he lifted up on the saw. The saw blade started spinning and caused the saw to jump. As the saw jumped, the spinning blade struck Employee #1's left pinky and amputated the tip.
