STEP 1: ATTACH MOUNTTO WORK SURFACE
CLAMP MOUNT
NOTE: There are two sets of Bracket Screw holes to
accommodate the thickness of every work surface. Use the
upper holes for surfaces up to 1.8” (48mm) thick and lower
holes for surfaces up to 2.7” (68mm) thick.
A - For installation on open edge of work surface:
1. Slide Mount (A) against work surface edge and fully tighten
Clamp screws(B) with 4mm hex key (C).
B - For installation on work surface positioned against a
wall or panel:
NOTE: This method can also be used to mount through
grommet holes wider than 3”
1. Detach the Bottom Clamp (D) from the Top Bracket (E) by
loosening Bracket Screws (F) with 5mm hex key.
2. Position the Top Bracket against work surface edge.
3. Underneath the work surface, reattach the Bottom Clamp
to the Top Bracket using the Bracket screws.
4. Fully tighten the Clamp Screws (G) with 5mm hex key.
NOTE: Clamp Mounts cannot be used to mount the M2.1 to
any vertical surface.
SLIDING DESK MOUNT
1. Remove Base Cover.
2. Loosely attach Sliding Desk Clamp (H) to base with three
included screws (I).The screws should not be tightened all
the way.
3. Slide the base and clamp over the back edge of the work
surface until the clamp rests on the edge.
4. Fully tighten the three clamp screws to secure the base to
the work surface.

BOLT-THROUGH MOUNT
1. Drill 1/2” hole through work surface in desired location.
NOTE: Bolt-Through Mount can accommodate a hole up to 4” (102mm)
in diameter. If hole is 2” (51mm) or more, cables can be routed through
the hole. For some 2” grommet holes, cables should be routed before
installation of mount to accommodate cable plugs (cable access is
approximately 1.5” x 0.25” with 2” grommets).
2. Position the M2.1 Base over the work surface hole (J).
3. Align Bolt-Through Plate (K), foam side up, under the work surface.
Pass the Bolt (L) through the hole in the plate and screw into M2.1
base by using 8mm hex key.
In each arm connection, there is an adjustable Smart Stop Ring which can be
positioned to limit the arm’s range of motion. Depending on the orientation of the
ring the arms can be set to rotate either 90°, 180° or 360°. The marked angle will
be in the center of the range of motion. The stop rings must be congured in such
a way that the dynamic link head does not pass behind the rear edge of the unit.

NOTE: Before adding each link, adjust the smart
stop (A) according to step 2. If using a 3 link
conguration, one of the links must be a 4”
link. The link installation order may need to be
swapped so as to comply with step 2.
1. Insert the angled link into the mount until release
button locks in place.
2. Insert the dynamic link into the angled link until
the release button locks in place.
3. To remove links, press the release button (B) and
lift upward near the joint.
1. Separate the VESA cover from the VESA bracket.
2. Position the VESA Bracket over the mounting holes on the back of
monitor with the D-shaped cutouts in a vertical orientation. Attach
using the 4 VESA screws provided.
3. Snap the VESA cover back in place.
NOTE: The VESA Bracket features 75mm and 100mm hole patterns.
If you need to offset the Bracket from the monitor use the provided
Extended VESA Screws and Plastic Spacers. You may also use the
screws that came with your monitor.

1. Hold the monitor angled back and lower it onto
the arm. Fit the hook at the top of the arm into
the corresponding cutout in the VESA Bracket.
2. Tilt the monitor back upright until the Quick
ReleaseTab (B) on the arm snaps into position.
3. To remove the monitor, lift the Quick ReleaseTab
and pull the bottom of the monitor away from
the arm, then lift free of the hook.
NOTE: If needed, adjust the tension screw (A) to
hold the monitor in position.
Your monitor should move up and down easily and stay in
place once adjusted. If it is difcult to adjust or moves without
assistance, it is not properly balanced.
M2.1:Weight Range: 5.5-15.5 lbs. (2.5-7 kg)
1. Press the Upper Arm Link (A) downward until Adjustment
Screw (B) is visible.
2. If the arm rises up on it’s own, the lift force is too high
and can be decreased by rotating the Adjustment Screw
counterclockwise (towards -) with a 4 mm hex key. If the
arm falls down with the weight of the monitor, the lift force
is too low and can be increased by turning the Adjustment
Screw clockwise (towards +).
3. The current counterbalance setting can be seen through the
counterbalance indicator (C) on top of the upper arm. This
information can be used to quickly set multiple arms to the
same level without needing the monitors to be installed.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws as it can damage
the screw head or threads.

1. Route power and monitor cables through the
exible cable clips on the M8.1’s upper link (A).
NOTE: Leave enough slack in the cables to allow
arms to rotate without difculty.
2. Slide the plastic cover (B) on the lower link
upward to remove.
3. Using the two cutouts (C) as guides, run the
cables over the lower link cover.
4. Lift the cover and cables up to the lower link,
making sure that the cover sits ush with the
surface of the arm.
5. Slide the cover down the arm to lock in place,
then gently pull the cables through the arm to
remove excess slack.
CAUTION: Don’t insert extension cords. Don’t
insert any cord connecting one workstation to
another.
