Narrative

An employee was using a jump saw to cut lumber for dock decking. The employee was adjusting the board and pushed the foot pedal to engage the blade, which then cut off the employee's left index and middle fingertips. The employee's index finger had to be surgically amputated to the middle joint, and the middle finger was surgically amputated to the first joint. The saw was guarded at the time of the incident.
