He had adjusted the guard of the band saw to approximately 2-in. above the piece being cut. He had cut four pieces and was not using a push plate. As he was cutting the pork meat into sections, his right hand index finger tip neared the exposed portion of the band saw blade above the piece being cut. He finger struck the saw, amputating his right index finger tip.
