Post: Thumb amputation Makita Circular Saw
Posted by J. Masiakos on 2/06/08
I am a NY lawyer and I represent a 27 year old man who was injured while using a Makita 7 1/4" Circular saw model no.: 5740NB. He was injured when the saw kicked back and the lower blade guard jammed and did not close allowing the rotating blade to make contact with his left thumb. This particular saw model was recalled in December 2002 for a defective lower blade guard. I am interested in finding out if anyone else has been injured by the same model saw or knows of anyone who has been injured.
