Not a saw story, but 3rd shift electricians removed a servo motor from one of my machines. It was locked up and in trying to determine the root cause, decided the motor should be replaced. They had it removed it from the bracket, but it was still wired.
When I got there, I asked them to stop and let me check it out. The reason it was locked up was because the brake was on. The brake was on because the hand wheel wasn't engaging the switch. We were all relieved. Time to mount the motor.
So I'm moving the motor back in place using the frame of the machine as support. I didn't realize an eye bolt was on the frame instead of the motor itself. As I slid the motor further, the eye bolt slipped off the frame, clamping the ends of my right index and middle fingers.
Long story short. Two nice fractures on the tips of both fingers. Trigger finger too sore to even scratch my rear.
