Abstract: At approximately 10:00 a.m. on April 8, 1998, Employee #1, of Lucky Stores, was working in the meat department at the Placerville, CA facility. He was nearly finished cutting up a case of beef feet when the blade of the bandsaw grabbed the piece he was cutting and rolled it over. Employee #1's hand was pulled into the moving blade, amputating one finger and severely lacerating another. He was transported to a Redi-Care facility and then transferred to Marshall Hospital in Placerville, where he was treated and released. The upper guide rolls and blade guard were not properly adjusted to the height of the meat being cut, which allowed the piece of meat to roll.
