Narrative

An employee was using a horizontal bandsaw to cut materials. As the saw was rising to the top position after completing a cut, the employee attempted to remove the drop scrap piece. The blade was still moving at the time and caught the drop scrap, which then struck and amputated the employee's left index and middle fingertips.
