In a discharge pulse current introduced into a machining gap between a wire electrode and a workpiece, ineffective discharge pulses not contributing to machining are discriminated and the number of the ineffective discharge pulses is counted. Moreover, an electrical discharge position is detected. An unevenly distributed state of machining chips in the machining gap is discriminated based on the counted number of the ineffective discharge pulses and the detected electrical discharge position. In order to eliminate the unevenly distributed state of the machining chips based on the unevenly distributed state of the machining chips, a flow rate of a working fluid supplied from an upper working fluid feeder in an upper wire guide and a flow rate of a working fluid supplied from a lower working fluid feeder in a lower wire guide are adjusted.
