Final narrative
An employee was using a table saw to cut wood stakes. The blade of the table saw pops up from below the table surface when a two-hand control is actuated and retracts below the table surface once the controls are released. However, the blade did not fully retract. When the employee grabbed the cut wood, his right index finger contacted the blade, suffering a partial amputation.
