The employee adjusted the guard down to approximately one inch above the frozen menudo and began to cut. As the employee began to cut a an approximate six inch by three inch piece of frozen into smaller pieces without the use of pusher plates, his right hand came into contact with the blade. As a result, the employee sustained an amputation of his right hand index and middle finger. The employee was not hospitalized
