He tried several different methods before opening the cover to the unit. On one side of the shredder was a chain and sprocket drive, which drove the roller that pulls the paper in. Employee #1 was testing the unit by engaging the forward/reverse switch, when his right index finger was pulled into the chain and sprocket drive. Employee #1's finger was amputated, but he was not hospitalized.
