Incident on Jul 26, 2004: Employee amputates tip of thumb on carbide-tipped saw blade
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on July 26, 2004, an employee worked in the metal fab rication department of K&N Engineering located in Riverside, CA. The employer ma nufactured after-market specialty automotive air filters. The employee cut speci fic length sections from a 10-foot length of 3.5 inch diameter aluminum tubing. He used a Ridgid 14 inch dry cut saw, Model 614, equipped with a carbide-tipped blade rated for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The employee attempted t o trim less than an inch off the end of a 16-inch length of tubing without secur ing it in the vice clamp, which was built into the left side of the saw. Instead , the employee held the tubing against the right side fence with his right hand. During the cut, the blade jammed and caused the tube to twist. The employee's r ight hand was propelled toward the spinning blade and the tip of his right thumb was amputated just above the nail bed and just below the distal joint.
