Narrative

An employee was operating a 12-inch dual compound miter saw to make a 45 degree angle cut into a 1-inch thick lead ingot. The employee wore leather-welding gloves and had his left hand on the ingot to hold it in position. As the saw blade contacted the ingot, the ingot shifted, which caused the employee's left hand to contact the saw blade. The employee sustained a laceration to his left hand.
