A wrapping machine and a method for wrapping a plastic foil web (F) around an object. A gripping and cutting device (11) is connected to a lifting frame (3) supporting a circular guide track of a foil dispenser (6) so as to be vertically movable with the lifting frame. In the method, the wrapping action is started from a freely chosen point relative to the vertical direction of the object and ended correspondingly at a freely chosen point relative to the vertical direction of the object.
