5. Setup
5.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the device.
- Insert a fully charged Li-ion battery into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely.
5.2 Initial Power On
- Place the laser level on a stable, level surface or mount it using the provided accessories.
- Slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The device will typically start in self-leveling mode.
- Observe the laser lines. If the device is outside its self-leveling range (±4°), the laser lines will flash rapidly to indicate an out-of-level condition. Adjust the device's position until the lines become steady.
6. Operating Modes
6.1 Self-Leveling Mode
When the pendulum lock is in the unlocked position and the device is powered on, it enters self-leveling mode. The laser will automatically level itself within ±4° in approximately 3 seconds. If the device is tilted beyond this range, the laser lines will flash to alert the user.

6.2 Manual Mode
To activate manual mode, ensure the pendulum lock is in the locked position before powering on the device. In this mode, the laser lines can be projected at any desired angle, which is useful for tasks like installing handrails or decorative patterns.
6.3 Pulse Mode
Pulse mode extends the working range of the laser level, allowing it to be used with a compatible laser detector (e.g., Firecore FD30) for outdoor or bright light conditions. In pulse mode, the laser lines are detectable up to 165 feet.

6.4 Brightness Adjustment
The laser level features 3 gear brightness adjustment. This allows you to optimize visibility based on ambient light conditions and conserve battery life. Adjust brightness using the control panel buttons or the remote control.
7. Applications
The Firecore G60 is suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Tiling Installation: The 360° floor horizontal line is ideal for precise tile layout.
- Ceiling Installation: The top 360° horizontal line assists with ceiling grid alignment and fixture installation.
- Wall Alignment: Two 360° vertical lines cross at 90° angles, facilitating accurate wall construction, picture hanging, and cabinet installation.
- General Layout: Provides all-around leveling coverage for various indoor and outdoor construction projects.

8. Charging
The Firecore G60 uses two 4000mAh Li-ion batteries, each providing up to 5 hours of runtime. The batteries can be charged separately or while installed in the device.
Charging Methods:
- Direct Plugging: Connect the Type-C charging cable directly to the laser tool while the battery is installed.
- Battery Charging: Remove the battery and connect the Type-C charging cable to the port on the battery itself.
- Power Bank: The Type-C port allows charging via a power bank for convenience on job sites.
Battery indicators on the battery pack show the current charge level. Charging protection prevents overcharging.

9. Remote Control
The included remote control allows for convenient adjustment of laser lines and brightness without needing to directly interact with the device. This saves time and effort, especially when the laser level is positioned in hard-to-reach areas.

10. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the laser emission windows clean for optimal performance.
- Storage: Store the laser level in its hard carry case in a dry, cool place when not in use. Ensure the pendulum lock is engaged during storage and transport to protect the internal mechanism.
- Battery Care: Charge batteries regularly, even if not in use, to maintain their lifespan. Avoid fully discharging batteries for extended periods.
11. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser lines are flashing rapidly | Device is out of self-leveling range (±4°) | Adjust the device's position until it is within the self-leveling range. |
| No laser lines | Battery is low or not installed correctly; Device is off. | Check battery charge and installation. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| Weak or dim laser lines | Low battery; Laser emission windows are dirty; Brightness setting is low. | Charge the battery. Clean the laser emission windows. Adjust brightness setting. |
| Remote control not working | Remote battery is dead; Obstruction between remote and device. | Replace remote battery. Ensure clear line of sight to the device's sensor. |
