Troubleshooting

Clip not firing or misfiring

Ensure the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun is loaded correctly and fully charged (if applicable). Check the gun's mechanism for any blockages or damage. Verify that the correct type of ViperClip is being used in the gun.

Clip does not hold the cable securely

Confirm that the cable is indeed 2.5mm² flat twin and earth. Ensure the clip is fired into a solid timber surface. Check for any obstructions preventing the nail from fully penetrating the wood.

Cable appears crushed or damaged

This should not occur with proper use. Ensure the clip is seated correctly and the gun is operated as intended. Verify the cable size is appropriate for the clip; using the wrong size may lead to over-tightening.
