Final narrative
An employee was conducting maintenance on a HVAC unit. A belt was replaced. The employee then spun the belt and motor/drive assembly by hand to ensure that the belt was seated properly, and that the motor/drive assembly was in proper alignment. His right little finger became trapped between the belt and motor/drive assembly, resulting in partial amputation of the distal aspect.
