While working on a Building Technology SBA, an incident occurred leaving Terrony Vincent injured. He was using a power plane to smooth out a piece of wood for his project; however, the wood was not properly secured. Instead of using a clamp on a workstation as recommended, Terrony placed the wood between his legs for support. While working, the wood slipped from its support and hit his upper leg at great speed. This resulted in a large cut with heavy bleeding as well as a bruise on other parts of the leg. The plane hit a nail on the wood which caused the plane to jam. This created a power surge which caused a fire in the outlet box.

The best cause of action after something like that could happen is,

Go to the hospital first, that wound would probably be pretty big if whoever did that sanded down their leg. Second carefully get the plane out of the nail/jam it's in. Third, put out the fire water, moist towelette or fire extinguisher (if in your area)

Recommendations for a greater cause of action: Wear safety/protection,

Make sure there isn't any loose nails (as the one described here) for the plane to get jamed.

Check if the plane has any safety cautions installed for these type's of problems.

Hopefully I helped you a bit.
