As he did this, his fingers contacted the rotating paddles inside the cylinder of the cyclone machine. The rotating paddles amputated his right thumb just below the knuckle and his middle finger to the first knuckle. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was then released from the hospital.
