Default Can I set my own bindings?

This is no joke: Please, Please PLEASE have the binding/boot combo
certified by a real
technician. Make sure they put it on the boot torque machine--or whatever
they call it to ensure that the boot and binding system are working together
properly and the binding releases as it should. Please don't risk your
daughter's knees any further.

I just bought a pair of Fischer skis and bindings over the internet for my
wife. (actually everyone local was out of stock for the year!)
The system is such that mounting the bindings and setting them for the
boot size is pretty foolproof. She is a very conservative skier, so
setting the adjustments at the very bottom of the scale (4) like her old
skis should be fine.
I am able to pop the boots out with what seems like a reasonable amount of
force

Is there any compelling reason to have an "expert" check this over; are
brand new binding likely to be really far off? If it were for me I
wouldn't worry about it, but I would hate to see someone else get hurt
because I would spring for a prudent expense.

Thanks.
