Defendant was liable because it breached its common law duty and statutory obligations by failing to guard the reciprocating cutter and to ensure adequate instruction/supervision and maintenance; a transient malfunction caused the injury which proper guarding or maintenance would likely have prevented, and there was no contributory negligence by the plaintiff; damages awarded accordingly ($117,941).
