1. A binding machine for gardening comprising:
a binding machine main body;
a magazine that is attached to the binding machine main body and loaded with a tape; and
a clincher arm that is rotatably attached to the binding machine main body and is configured to draw the tape out of the magazine and bind an object to be bound which is wound by the tape, the clincher arm including a lock plate, a tape catch, and a tape plate, the lock plate being rotatable and urged by a coil spring, the tape catch being rotatable and urged toward the tape plate by a torsion spring, and the tape plate facing the tape catch, wherein

a shaft internal to the boss, and
an abutting member defining a lever that is pivotably attached to the boss by the shaft at a proximate end, defining a leading edge portion at a distal end that abuts against an inner peripheral surface of the reel, and defining an inclined surface inclined from a top surface toward a bottom surface opposite the top surface at an inclination angle in a range of 30-60 degrees, and
wherein
the abutting member includes a hook-shaped engaging portion projecting from the bottom surface,
the housing includes an engagement hole, and
the engaging portion sliding in the engagement hole defines the movable range of the abutting member.
