Employee #1, a lumber mill employee with thirty years experience, was thrusting a piece of lumber onto a radial arm saw platform to adjust his cut length. Employee #1's hand slipped off the end of the piece and the momentum of his hand as it struck the saw guard pushed the saw guard back enough to where he suffered an amputation injury to his right index finger. Employee #1 was treated and released from the hospital.
