  • MA F Schoo FACE Ol Sho E Op Inj Jury R Repor Rt
    MA FACE School Shop Injury Report High School Student Sustains a Partial Fingertip Amputation While Using a Jointer in Wood Shop - Massachusetts Release Date: December 21, 2015 Massachusetts Department of Public Health Investigation: # 14-MA-1NF-01 Occupational Health Surveillance Program SUMMARY In 2014, a 9th grade student enrolled in a regional compreehensive high school that also offered some shop classes partially amputated a fingertip. The student wwas operating a wood jointer in shop class when the student’s left hand middle finger came in contact with the jointer’s cutting head. Immediately after the incident occurred, the student informed the substtitute teacher in charge about the injury. The student was brought to the school nurse who placed a call for emergency medical services (EMS). The local police and EMS arrived at the incident location within minutes. The victim was transported to a local hospital where the partially amputated fingertip was reattached and the victim was then released from the hospital. Contributing factors identified in this investigation included lack of comprehensive standard operating procedures, not having access to the jointer operator’s manual, and inexperience. Another contributing factor was the limitations of the jointer’s guard. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health concluded that to prevent similaar occurrences in the future, schools with shop classes should: • Develop, implement, and enforce standard operating procedures for operating machinery; • Develop guidelines to ensure students have a clear understandinng of the task they will be performing; and • Provide shop environments that, at a minimum, meet all relevant Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to protect students and school employees from injury.

  • The 1960S Cummins Portable Power Tool Catalog This Is a Brief Intro To
    The 1960s Cummins Portable Power Tool Catalog This is a brief intro to the pdf version of a 1960s Cummins Catalog, the most heavily used file on my website. Images and descriptions of sleek, art-deco-styled chrome-clad portable electric saw, drills, saber saws, orbital sanders, and accessories, all made to last. I only wish that I had more manufacturer's catalogs of this vintage, because I would quickly upload them to my servers so that people worldwide would have access to material that, otherwise, is unavailable. Please Send Me Your Vintage Portable Power Tool Catalogs/Manuals If you have vintage portable power tool catalogs and/or manuals, you can help in this service by getting in touch – [email protected] – and arrange with me for the creation of a pdf. Below is an image of my 1950s 1/2-inch portable drill, sold by the – now-defunct – national mail order firm, Montgomery-Ward, but – as you can see on pages 8 and 9 of the Cummins catalog – identical to the the Cummins portable drill. At the time, both Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward sold products bearing their respective labels, but products made for them by a large array of manufacturers. Cummins was the M-W manufacturer of this drill. With pleasure I use this drill in my shop frequently. A powerful hand-operated power tool – operating at about 550 rpms – with a two-step metal drill bit, you can drill accurate holes in almost any metal, which means that – with cheap recycled aluminum – you can make all sorts of jigs for your shop or even fabricate outdoor furniture and other accessories.
