1. A binding machine comprising:
a body part;
a feeding unit configured to feed a wire, the feeding unit including a feeding gear;
a first guide and a second guide extending in a first direction from an end portion on one side of the body part, arranged with an interval, in which a binding object is inserted, in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and configured to guide the wire fed by the feeding unit;
a twisting unit configured to twist the wire guided by the first guide and the second guide, the twisting unit including a twisting motor, and
a guide moving part configured to change the interval from a first distance to a second distance shorter than the first distance, the guide moving part being rotatably supported by a shaft,
wherein the second guide is supported to be movable toward and away from the first guide, and
wherein a binding operation is executed in response to detecting that the second guide is moved to a position where the interval is the second distance.
