Humanscale Grommet User Manual
Grommet installation instructions
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE GROMMET MOUNT, PLACE THE
DATA AND POWER CABLE THROUGH THE GROMMET HOLE. CABLES CAN
ONLY BE PROPERLY ROUTED THROUGH THE MOUNT, IF THIS IS DONE
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
1.
Determine grommet placement that will optimize the user’s viewing
position when the monitor arm is extended, while leaving plenty of
room to adjust the monitor out of the way and clear up desk space.
Take into consideration the dimensions and adjustability of the
monitor arm.
Installers: get authorized sign-off on grommet placement before
continuing.
2.
Mark the center point of a 2" diameter grommet at the position
determined above.
3.
At the center point, drill a small pilot hole approximately 1/8” deep.
NOTE: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN DRILLING OR CUTTING.
4.
While leaving the pilot hole exposed, apply masking tape over the
area to be cut. This will help ensure a clean cut and will minimize
damage (in the form of chipping and cracking) to the top of the
work surface.
5.
Attach a 2" (2-1/2" is acceptable) hole saw to your drill by following
the manufacturer’s directions. Corded drills are recommended for
creating grommets.
6.
Drill the hole using a low rpm setting and, as much as possible,
keeping the hole saw perfectly perpendicular to the work surface.
7.
Remove tape, clean off the work surface and
install monitor arm per monitor arm installation
instructions.
