Do you know what your din should be? Regardless it's probably best to go to a shop, take your boot and make sure the forward pressure and afd have been set correctly.

I used this sitehttp://www.dinsetting.com/index.htm and it told me i'm 7. Does this mean I set both the toe and heel piece to 7? Where do the forward pressure and afd come in?

A lot of those sites set the din based off of weight and stuff. Also, for mountain skiers, not park skiers. I tend to set mine a little higher than. Those just because they don't account for big landings and stuff like that

Don't go set them too tight. You take much more risk of season ending injury and a visit to the operating room.

As said above forward pressure and toe adjustment must be set correctly for any binding to work right. If you don't totally understand, take them to a pro.

A professional at a shop would be able to answer all of your questions and make sure your boots and bindings are ready to go for a small amount of money. If you have to ask then you shouldn't be adjusting your own bindings.

This. Just go to a shop. Also, your are better off having them too loose, then adjust them as needed, than having them too tight and not pooping out.

din depends on how much you weight, but mostly on how big you go in the park. The shop initialy set mine at 6 when they mounted it, and I put them up to 8.5 after a few days, so that they didn't pop off overtime I landed a medium jumps. I change em to 9.5/10 for bigger jumps too. You can definitely change the din yourself, just get a screwdriver and you're set.

If tey are a new binding you would set the heel and toe the same. Only if they were worn and the springs were not giving correct release may you want to set them differently.

Forward rds pressure is the force the heel puts on the toe to ensure the boot is held in place.

The afd is the part the toe of the boot sits on. I the griffon it's mounted on an angled ramp so you need to adjust it so it almost touches the sole.

If those two are not set correctly then the din setting will not be accurate.

Take ke the skis an one boot to a shop an just have them set them up. It really is the safest option.

If you have to ask these questions, you are not competent to be doing anything with a binding. Take them to a shop.
