Troubleshooting

Clip does not fire correctly

Ensure the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun is correctly loaded and functioning. Check that the clip is seated properly in the gun's mechanism. Verify you are using the correct type and size of clip for the gun.

Clip fails to hold cable securely

Confirm the cable is the correct size (1.0mm² or 1.5mm² flat twin and earth). Ensure the clip is fired into a solid timber substrate and not a void or excessively soft wood. Check for any obstructions around the cable that might prevent a snug fit.

Clip nail bends or breaks on impact

Verify that the timber substrate is within the recommended hardness range (avoiding extremely dense hardwoods or very soft, crumbly wood). Ensure the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun is set to the appropriate power level if adjustable, or check if the gun requires maintenance.
