A wire binding machine comprising an arrangement for guiding a wire, wherein the arrangement comprises a guide member configured as a lever comprising a front part and a rear part, where the front part is arranged closer to the wire than the rear part, where a first spring of the arrangement is arranged to act with a first spring force against the guide member, wherein the front part of the guide member is arranged to bear against the wire and act against the wire with said first spring force in order to guide the wire during a wire binding process when the wire moves relative to the guide member, wherein the rear part of the guide member is arranged to contact a guide cylinder of the arrangement, wherein the guide member is arranged rotatably about a shaft between a first position of the guide member and a second position of the guide member, where the first position is for feed-out of the wire where the guide member does not have contact with the wire and where a passage between the guide member and a support of the arrangement is created, where the guide member, when in the second position, bears against the wire to guide the wire by pressing the wire against the support, wherein the first spring is arranged so that said first spring force induces rotation of the guide member about the shaft into the second position of the guide member, wherein the guide cylinder, in a to-position of the guide cylinder, is arranged to press against the rear part of the guide member to induce rotation of the guide member about the shaft into the first position, wherein the guide cylinder, in a from-position of the guide cylinder, is moved away from the rear part of the guide member whereby the first spring force induces rotation of the guide member into the second position, characterized in that the guide member, or the front part thereof, is movably arranged with a mobility over and above the mobility which is allowed by said first spring in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extent of the wire when in the second position, so that a movement of the guide member substantially perpendicular away from the extent of said wire is allowed in order to reduce friction forces between the guide member and the wire during said wire binding process, so that locking of the wire against the guide member is prevented. wherein the guide member is arranged rotatably about a shaft between a first position of the guide member and a second position of the guide member, where the first position is for feed-out of the wire where the guide member does not have contact with the wire and where a passage between the guide member and a support of the arrangement is created, where the guide member, when in the second position, bears against the wire to guide the wire by pressing the wire against the support, wherein the first spring is arranged so that said first spring force induces rotation of the guide member about the shaft into the second position of the guide member, wherein the guide cylinder, in a to-position of the guide cylinder, is arranged to press against the rear part of the guide member to induce rotation of the guide member about the shaft into the first position, wherein the guide cylinder, in a from-position of the guide cylinder, is moved away from the rear part of the guide member whereby the first spring force induces rotation of the guide member into the second position, characterized in that the guide member, or the front part thereof, is movably arranged with a mobility over and above the mobility which is allowed by said first spring in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extent of the wire when in the second position, so that a movement of the guide member substantially perpendicular away from the extent of said wire is allowed in order to reduce friction forces between the guide member and the wire during said wire binding process, so that locking of the wire against the guide member is prevented.
