M10 INSTALLATION HARDWARE
A. Route power and monitor cables through
the flexible cable clips on the M10’s
upper link (A).
NOTE: Leave enough slack in the cables to
allow arms to rotate without difficulty.
B. Slide the plastic cover on the lower link
upward until it disengages, then remove
(B).
C. Route cables inside the lower link (C).
D. Place the plastic cover back onto the
lower link and slide downward until it
clicks into place (D).
NOTE: For dual-monitor applications, first
route monitor cables through cable
management clips (E), then refer to step A.
WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Your monitor should move up and down easily
and should stay in place once adjusted. If it is
difficult to adjust or moves without assistance,
A
B
it is not properly counterbalanced. M10: Weight
Range: 20-48 lbs.
Monitor should not exceed 48 lbs.
A. To Open the Cover (C) from the Upper Arm
Link (A), Use your finger in the groove to
lever the cover up and Rotate the Cover (C)
to see the adjustable Screw (S).
B. Adjust the Screw (S) with 5mm hex key
clockwise direction to increase load tension
and anticlockwise to reduce load tension.
C. Tighten the Screw (S) to achieve the force
needed to hold the monitor weight.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws as it can
damage the screw head or threads.

Installation Instructions

STEP 1: ATTACH MOUNT TO WORK SURFACE
CLAMP MOUNT
1A. For installation on open edge of
work surface:
i. Slide Mount (M) against work surface
edge and fully tighten Clamp screws(D)
with 5mm hex key (X).
NOTE: If work surface is too thin to attach
Mount at default setting, proceed to step 1B.
ii. Proceed to Step 3.
1B. For installation on work surface
positioned against a wall or panel:
i. Detach the Bottom Clamp (A) from the Top
Bracket (B) by loosening Bracket Screws
(C) with 5mm hex key (X).
ii. Position the Top Bracket against work
surface edge.
iii.Underneath the work surface, reattach
the Bottom Clamp to the Top Bracket
using the Bracket screws.
NOTE: There are two sets of Bracket Screw
holes to accommodate the thickness of
every work surface.Use the set of holes that
allow the Clamp Screw to tighten fully. Use
the top holes for surfaces up to 1.8” (48mm)
thick and lower holes for surfaces up to 2.7”
(68mm) thick.
iv.Fully tighten the Clamp Screws(D) with
5mm hex key (X).
v. Proceed to Step 3.
NOTE: Clamp Mounts cannot be used to
mount the M8 to any vertical surface.
SLIDING DESK MOUNT
1D. For installation on a desk with minimal clamp
clearance:
C
BOLT-THROUGH MOUNT
1D. For installation on work surface with no
access for clamp system:
M
D
X
i. 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).
ii. Position the M8 Base over the work
surface hole (H).
iii. Align Bolt-Through Plate, foam side up,
under the work surface. Pass the Bolt (K)
through the hole in the plate and screw
into M8 base by using 8mm hex key (Y).
iv. Proceed to Step 3.

STEP 2: SMART STOP ADJUSTMENT
B
A
Position the smart stop ring to limit the arm’s
range of motion. The marked angle will be in
the center of the range of motion. The stop
rings must be configured 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 according to step 2. If using a 3
link configuration, 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.
A. Insert the angled link into the mount until
release button locks in place.
B. Insert the dynamic link into the angled link
until the release button locks in place.
C. To remove links, press the release button
and lift upward near the joint.
STEP 4: ATTACH VESA BRACKET TO MONITOR
A. Remove the plastic top cover.
B. Place VESA bracket in position on
back of monitor with two
cutouts (U) in vertical direction
and attach using 4 screws
provided. VESA bracket can
accommodate 75mm or
100mm hole patterns. For this,
you may also use screws that
came with your monitor.
C. If mounting space for 75mm
VESA bracket is inset into back
of monitor, place the 4 plastic
spacers (S) between VESA
bracket and monitor (align with
hole pattern), and using the
extended VESA screws (Y),
attach through the spacers.
D. Reinstall the plastic top cover.

STEP 9: ATTACH MONITOR TO ARM
Tilt the monitor back and lower onto the arm, so that the hook fits into the
corresponding hole on the VESA bracket. Then rotate the bottom of the monitor back
towards the arm until the tab snaps in place. To remove, lift the release tab and pull
the bottom of the monitor away from the arm, then lift free of the hook.
STEP 9B: ONLY FOR OPTIONAL OFFSET VESA ADAPTER
i. Remove Base Cover.
ii. Loosely attach Clamp Bracket (E) to base
with three included screws (F). The screws
should not be tightened all the way.
iii. Slide the base and clamp over the back
edge of the work surface until the clamp rests on
the edge.
iv. Fully tighten the three clamp screws to
