Narrative

An employee was using a table saw to make an angle cut on a trim board. The board jumped as he pushed it, causing his left hand to come into contact with the sawblade. His middle, ring, and little fingers were lacerated; he was hospitalized, and the ring finger was medically amputated just below the first knuckle.
