Claim 17:
18. A binding machine comprising:
a wire feeding unit configured to feed a wire;
a curl guide arranged along a loop feeding path of the wire along which the wire fed in a first direction by the wire feeding unit is wound around an object; and
a binding unit which includes a rotating shaft to twist the wire fed in the first direction by the wire feeding unit and wound on the object,
wherein the wire feeding unit comprises a pair of feeding members and a feeding motor that drives the feeding members, the pair of feeding members having a cylindrical outer surfaces, being arranged such that the outer surfaces face each other with a feeding path of the wire being interposed therebetween, and being configured to rotate in mutually opposite directions so as to feed the wire sandwiched between the outer surfaces,
wherein the binding machine further comprises a control circuit configured to control the wire feeding unit, and a sensor that detects movement due to rotation of the feeding members, and
wherein the control circuit is configured to automatically rotate the feeding motor in a rotating direction in which the wire is fed in the first direction when the sensor detects movement due to the rotation of the feeding members in a state where the feeding motor is non-energized.
