Narrative

An employee was cutting a narrow strip of flexi glass using a table saw. He was pushing the flexi glass with a 'push stick' using his right hand and was holding the material with his left hand. As the material was going through the blade, his left index finger was caught by the table saw blade, amputating his fingertip.
