Narrative

An employee was using an electric miter saw to cut aluminum extrusion frame parts for a bulletin board cabinet. He began to pull a remnant piece of the extrusion from the saw to place in a recycling barrel. The end of the extrusion inside the saw was grabbed by the spinning saw blade and pulled into the machine. The blade lacerated his right index finger, which was medically amputated between the first and second joints.
