Narrative

On December 9, 2015, an employee was using a table saw to cut lumber. As he was making the cut, the board started to rise and kick back. He attempted to control the kickback by pushing down and forward into the saw. His hand was on the trailing end of the board as he pushed, and his right ring finger's first digit was amputated by the saw blade.
