Big Red Buttons

[Cuchilo]

Assuming that's some kind of horrifically dangerous woodworking machine, shouldn't the big red button be the emergency stop?

The machine is mental and apparently was sold with a lesson from a rep on how to use it . Its old skool Elu from the 40's i think ? Ive sussed the 12" planer blade sharpening but the saw blade and the rest are to much to even think about .
It also grinds profiles but i cant work that out . The machine is one big headfark ! I payed £50 to get my headfarked
The red button may be a H&S nightmare but some of us use red buttons to start work , not stop it

Under-desk buttons usually activate the drawbridge that dumps unwanted visitors into a shark-filled moat. I'm 99% sure of this, but I still can't see a big white fluffy cat.

I thought John Hurt tried to blow up Gallifrey with a red button:

Just for the record, there is no button.

Only in America! A briefcase called a football and a card called a biscuit. Quite a recipe, with a donkey called a president. Sorry donkey fans

This was while Trump and Abe were being briefed about a Korean missile launch ....

I think you'll all find that we have the biggest red button on our workbench...

However, being a friendly bunch, our button opens the door to let people in, rather than blowing them to smithereens...

A friend of mine was doing some maintenance in the roof space of a public building somewhere near Norwich. There was a Big Red Button on the wall, labelled “System Test (Do Not Press)”.

He was of course tempted to press the button, but resisted.
But after a week of working beside this button, he could hold back no longer, and he succumbed.

He has learned several things from this incident:

1. The East Anglian Flood Warning siren network was originally the WWII air raid siren system.
2. The East Anglian Flood Warning siren network is extremely loud
3. The East Anglian Flood Warning siren network can be turned on by pressing the System Test button - but cannot be turned off the same way.

I've only got a virtual one which I've just used on Melissa, who wanted to sell you all skin cream.

I have a big red button on the right of my desk. It sends a small missile to kill any of my enemies I wish dead.

Sadly, Nurse tells me that it's out of order at the moment but I've got an electrical screwdriver and..............
