The employee placed his hand on lumber and was pushing it to measurement. As he was pushing the lumber, his hand went under the saw guard. The employee actuated the machine by compressing the foot pedal. The guard came down and the saw blade came up out of the table, cutting his fingers. The employee sustained the loss of his index finger below the knuckle and middle finger above the knuckle on his left hand and was hospitalized.
