IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General safety instructions for work stations with monitor holder
Dear customer!
As well as providing ergonomic improvement while you are working or playing, work stations
with monitor holder also create space.
Depending on which work station you have, your monitor can be adjusted in height, tilted or
even rotated. In this way, the optimal adjustment of your monitor can be made to suit your
needs.
When fixing it, however, there are a few important safety instructions which must be observed.
Therefore, please read the following sections carefully.
General
• A work station is not a toy. Therefore, keep the product out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• The product is intended for use in dry indoor spaces only.
• Verify that the delivery content is complete before assembling the product. Do not assemble
the product if the delivery content is not complete.
• Selecting an unsuitable installation location can lead to personal or material damage!
• Proceed with care when assembling and installating the product! The product has some
sharp edges. There is a risk of injury!
• Carry out only the work on the work station that is necessary in order to install it (or to change
its location). Never dismantle the work station and never attempt to convert it or to repair it in
any way. Some work stations contain highly pre-stressed metal springs. Dismantling such a
work station in the wrong way could cause you severe injury!
• Before beginning the installation process, check whether there are appropriate mounting
options for a monitor holder on the back of your monitor.
• It is usually necessary to remove the monitor’s base before mounting the monitor on a
monitor holder. Please consult the operating instructions for your monitor.
Lay the monitor flat with its screen side down onto a soft, clean pad or cloth, so that there is
no pressure on the screen and the screen does not get scratched. Protect valuable furniture
surfaces during installation by using a suitable pad or cloth.
Remove the monitor’s base; depending on the monitor’s design, this will either be screwed
or clipped in.
• When fixing the monitor holder to the back of the monitor, make absolutely certain that you
use the correct screws. Not only must these be of the correct thread type for the monitor, but
they must also not be too long; otherwise they will damage the monitor.
The screws must not be too short, however, since otherwise the connection will not be secure.
The screws must be screwed into the threaded fixture holes on the monitor with at least 5
full 360° turns. The correct screws are usually supplied together with the monitor holder or
with the monitor. Occasionally, however (depending on the monitor type), other screws are
required; these can be purchased from specialist retailers.
Do not use any force when tightening the screws; otherwise the monitor may be destroyed,
leading to loss of warranty/guarantee!
If you have any doubt about the correct length of the screws required, we recommend that
you contact the monitor manufacturer or an appropriate specialist.
• Depending on the size and design of the monitor and work station concerned, it is sensible
for a second person to help with the installation. This person can hold the monitor still, for
example, while you are attaching the monitor to the monitor holder.
• Apply your full concentration when carrying out the installation, because if the monitor and/or
work station were to fall, this could cause expensive damage to the equipment and there is
the potential danger of personal injury!
• Lay all the monitor’s cables in such a way that they do not get jammed or kinked in the work
station.
• Check all the screw fittings from time to time. Adjusting the position of the monitor and/or the
work station and moving them can sometimes cause the screws to become loose over time.
• Do not exert any force when moving/adjusting the monitor and/or work station, as this could
damage the monitor.
• When moving/adjusting, do not press on the monitor’s screen!
• Do not overload the work station. Pay attention to the details provided by the manufacturer
for the maximum monitor weight and/or its size.
• Do not use the work station to support yourself or to hold onto.
• Do not fix any objects to the work station other than the monitor and possibly other
accessories, e. g. a keyboard, for which it was intended.
• Monitors generate heat. Risk of fire! Take appropriate precautions with regard to heat
dissipation and fire prevention. Certain surfaces can be damaged or discoloured as a
result of heat dissipation. Take appropriate protective measures.
• If you are in any doubt, do not carry out the installation yourself; ask a qualified person to
do it for you.
Table Mounting
The following information is relevant for work stations that must be mounted
on a table top.
• Attach the work station only to a sufficiently stable, horizontal table top. Tables made of glass,
ceramic or stone slabs or thin plastic-coated wooden-fibre slabs, are categorically unsuitable
for attachments.
Furthermore, you must not attach the work station to shelves or similar unstable or unsteady
surfaces.
• Attach the work station only at a position on the table top that is suitable for this purpose.
Consider the significant lever action involved!
• The weight of the monitor and work station as well as its fixed position and significant lever
action can all cause pressure marks on the table top. For this reason, we do not recommend
that you mount it on valuable furniture items!
• For safety reasons, the work station and the monitor that is attached to it should be situated
only above the table surface. The design of many work stations means that it is not suitable
for the monitor arm to be situated anywhere other than above the table surface. There is also
a danger of it toppling over in certain circumstances!
• Ensure that the work station is fixed to the table top securely. Otherwise it could slip off the
table top when you are moving the monitor and the work station. As well as causing material
damage, this poses a danger of personal injury!
