DRILLING THE SKIS (with THE M drilling pattern )
1 -
Warning : the drilling is di erent for size S and size L
NB : in case you use a printed drilling pa�ern, check with a ruler
that the length line of 200 mm is correct.
Step 1
- Read the instruc�on of the drilling pa�ern
- Check on your shoe the size of the shell in mm
- Mark on your ski the middle center of the ski and longitudinal line
(on a paper scotch for example)
- Cut the drilling pa�ern as shown - Part A and B
- Mark the line corresponding to the size of your shell
- Place Part A of the drilling pa�ern in such a way that the line of
marking (value of the length of your shoe) is placed on the mid
center line of the ski
- Take care to align the longitudinal lines
Step 2
- Place part B of drilling pa�ern B superposing the mid center line
and the mark of the size of your shell.
Step 3
- Verifica�on of the good posi�oning of the drilling pa�ern
- Control of the shoe size - place the shoe onto the pa�ern the
front and the back of the shoe has to match with the indica�on.

- If you need to grind screws for some reason (e.g., the ski is thinner than the
screw design provided), be extremely careful not to leave any burrs—these will
mess with the thread cutting of the ski core.
- Don't reverse bend the ski when applying drilling pressure. Support it from
beneath so that the screw hole is perpendicular to the ski. Even a small amount
of ex will change the angle and you'll lose full pullout strength potential.

PREPARATION
There are 2 sizes of binding
- Size S for shoe with a length between 275 and 298 mm (mondopoint 22,5 to 26 - for Sco� shoes from 22,5 to 25,5 (mondopoint)),
- Size L for shoe with a length between 305 and 336 mm (mondopoint 26,5 to 31 - for Sco� shoes from 26 to 31 (mondopoint))
You have to check that
- shoes are conform to NTN norms (New Telemark Norm)and with Low Tech insert,
- the release regula�on corresponds to the weight and skill level of skier,
- screws or inserts are compa�ble with the skis on which the bindings will be assembled.
Ski
- Most skis on the market have a reinforced plate for a be�er anchoring of the bindings. Follow the recommenda�ons of the Ski
manufacturer before drilling.
- The dimensions of the drill to be used and the depth of piercing are marked on the ski.
- Be sure to verify the marks on the 2 skis before drilling.
- Be sure to protect the soles of the skis before beginning.
NB: THE M equipment can not be held responsible in the event of incorrect assembly.
