The test panel he set up, in place to run the UV machine, was not square with the opening. Employee #1 reached into the machine to straighten the panel, but his left hand got caught between the press rolls. The machine continued to pull his arm into the machine, reaching his elbow before being able to pull himself free. First aid was administered to Employee #1 and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment, where it was discovered that his arm had been degloved up to his elbow.
