i don't under stand the getting injured either. mine won't even turn on unless bowl is locked in place and the shove chute too small to stick my hand down ..fortunately

mine is older model also, we bought it at costco years ago. it came w all the different blades also. i use it for making pestos, chopping walnuts for baking and bread crumb toppings, i pureé garlic w olive oil to freeze so that i always have "fresh" garlic to add to whatever i am cooking. my cuisinart food processer is very important tool for me. i found a mini one at thrift shop few years ago & love it for small batches just for the two of us.
