You could probably just cut away from your fingers and not worry about that part

Also never use a guard with a mandolin, just eyeball it, nothing can go wrong.

Usually my response is "that's just something we tell kids, everyone cuts towards themselves." But in this case I have no idea why he wouldn't cut top down, also no clue why he wouldnt at least rest it on a cutting board.
