Abstract: On September 29, 2008, Employee #1, worker at a meat market, was using a Butcher Boy bandsaw, Model Number B-16F, Serial Number 20061, to cut steaks from a large portion of meat. The large portion of meat remained hung up as Employee #1 cut steaks from it. As he cut one of the steaks, Employee #1 applied pressure in the forward motion. The saw blade abruptly cut through the meat and came into contact with Employee #1's right hand. Employee #1 was hospitalized where he was treated for amputated third and fourth digits on his right hand.
