The sewing machine makes use of a thick sewing needle that, when not used properly, can break and be hazardous to users. Breaks can be caused by excessive force when using the machine or trying to fix a snag in the stitching.
The main concern in using the button maker is placing foreign objects in the metal die trays, as the lever applies pressure to create the buttons. However, the lever can only descend to a certain degree, preventing most foreign objects from receiving unnecessary force.

ABM 2.25" Button Maker


Description

The ABM 2.25" is a button maker from American Button Machines.

Safety Concerns

The main concern in using the button maker is placing foreign objects in the metal die trays, as the lever applies pressure to create the buttons. However, the lever can only descend to a certain degree, preventing most foreign objects from receiving unnecessary force.

Training
