• High Visibility and Accuracy

  This laser level tool features a green beam that is 4X brighter than red beams, ensuring high visibility. It projects one ultra-bright 120° horizontal and one 150° wide-angle vertical line with an accuracy of ±1/9 inch at 33 ft. The F114G has a line visibility range up to 130 ft. It is a Safety Class II laser with <1mW power output.

• Dual Modes & Pulse Mode

  Easily select self-leveling mode with the slide switch. The laser tool fast self-levels with a smart pendulum and indicates out-of-level conditions up to ±4° within 3 seconds. Lock the pendulum by long-pressing the top operation button to switch to manual mode, allowing you to lock lines for alignment at any angle. Pulse mode extends the working range up to 197 ft. with a Firecore laser receiver (sold separately) in bright light or outdoor conditions.

• Flexible Mounting Design

  The built-in magnetic pivot bracket allows the laser level to easily mount on metal surfaces. A fine adjustment knob on the integrated 360° rotating base provides precise vertical line adjustment and a plumb point position for increased accuracy. It also features 1/4"-20 mounting threads for standard tripods or laser pole mounts, and an integrated hang hole for additional flexible mounting options.

• Job Site Durability

  Robust build quality ensures the Firecore laser level can withstand the impacts, wear, and shocks of a professional job site. Its rugged body provides IP54 water and dust resistance, making it ideal for various demanding environments.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

Locate the battery compartment, typically on the side or rear of the unit. Open the compartment and insert the three AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.

2. Mounting the Device

• Magnetic Mounting: Utilize the built-in magnetic pivot bracket to attach the laser level to any metal surface, such as steel studs or I-beams.
• Tripod Mounting: For stable positioning and height adjustment, screw the 1/4"-20 mounting threads onto a compatible tripod or laser pole mount.
• Hang Hole: Use the integrated hang hole for flexible mounting on nails or screws on non-magnetic surfaces.

Operating Modes

1. Self-Leveling Mode

Slide the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The laser level will automatically self-level within ±4°. If the device is outside this range, the laser lines will blink rapidly to indicate an out-of-level condition. Adjust the device's position until the lines become steady.

2. Manual Mode

To use the laser at any angle (e.g., for stair railings or decorative patterns), slide the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" (locked) position. Then, press and hold the top operation button for approximately 3 seconds. The laser lines will activate and remain locked at the desired angle. In this mode, the self-leveling function is disabled, and the lines will flash periodically to remind you it's in manual mode.

3. Pulse Mode

For outdoor use or in bright conditions where the laser line may be difficult to see, activate Pulse Mode. While in self-leveling mode, briefly press the top operation button. The indicator light will change, and the laser will emit a pulsed beam. This mode requires a compatible laser receiver (sold separately) to detect the beam over longer distances (up to 197 ft.).

4. Switching Laser Lines

In either self-leveling or manual mode, briefly press the top operation button to cycle through the available laser line combinations:

• Horizontal Line only
• Vertical Line only
• Cross Line (Horizontal and Vertical lines simultaneously)

Applications

The Firecore F114G laser level is suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

• Hanging pictures and artwork
• Laying floor or wall tiles
• Installing shelving and cabinets
• Mounting light fixtures
• Framing and metal stud work
• Door and window installation
• General home renovation projects

Specifications

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the laser level in its carry pouch in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
• Calibration: While the device is self-calibrating within its range, regular checks against a known level surface are recommended to ensure continued accuracy.

Troubleshooting

• Laser Lines Blinking Rapidly: This indicates the device is out of its self-leveling range (±4°). Adjust the device's position until the lines become steady.
• No Laser Lines: Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
• Lines Not Straight in Manual Mode: In manual mode, the self-leveling feature is disabled. The lines will project at the angle the device is set. Ensure the device is stable and positioned as desired.
• Difficulty Seeing Laser Outdoors: Activate Pulse Mode and use a compatible Firecore laser receiver (sold separately) for improved visibility over longer distances or in bright sunlight.
