Final narrative
An employee was preparing to change a table saw's blade. Before doing so, he cut another piece of wood. As he finished cutting the board, the lumber shifted and his left hand was caught in the blade, amputating the last three fingertips on his left hand. The saw's automatic feed guard was removed at the time of the incident.
