An employee was using a radial arm saw to cut 2 X 4's and 2 X 6's, both 4 feet and 8 feet, into 2-foot pieces when the blade grabbed his glove, pulling his right hand into the saw. This resulted in a middle fingertip amputation midway down the nail. His ring finger on his right hand was cut almost completely off at the first knuckle.
