2. Safety Information
Always read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the Firecore FRL300R Rotary Laser Level. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury.
2.1 Laser Safety
This product emits a Class 2 laser beam (IEC/EN60825-1/2014 <1mW). Observe the following precautions:
- DO NOT stare directly into the laser beam.
- DO NOT intentionally direct the laser beam at other people or reflective surfaces.
- Always use the provided red laser glasses to enhance visibility and protect your eyes when working with the laser.
- Ensure the laser is positioned so that the beam is above or below eye level whenever possible.
2.2 Battery Safety
- Use only the specified Li-ion battery and charging accessories provided with the kit.
- Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or fire.
- Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery.

4. Setup
4.1 Charging the Battery
The FRL300R is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. Before first use, fully charge the battery. Connect the provided charging cable to the Type-C charging port on the laser level and plug the 5V/1A adapter into a power outlet. A full charge provides up to 15 hours of working time.
Figure 3: The FRL300R supports multiple charging methods via its Type-C port.
4.2 Initial Placement and Mounting
Place the FRL300R on a stable, level surface or mount it securely onto a tripod. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions that might interfere with the laser beam. The unit is designed with a robust 4-handle ergonomic design for easy handling.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On and Self-Leveling
Press the power button to turn on the FRL300R. The unit features electronic horizontal self-leveling, automatically leveling itself within 5° in approximately 15 seconds. If the device is disturbed during operation, it will automatically re-level. The self-leveling motors are accurate to ±10 seconds.

5.2 Adjusting Rotation Speed and Scanning Angle
The FRL300R offers variable rotation speeds (0-300-600rpm) and scanning angle options (0°-10°-45°-90°-180°-0°). Use the controls on the unit or the remote control to adjust these settings according to your application needs.
Figure 6: The remote control allows for convenient adjustment of laser settings.
5.3 Vibrate Mode
For use in windy or vibrating conditions, activate the vibrate mode. In this mode, the self-leveling function is deactivated, and the laser cross is locked, allowing the device to be used at any angle without constant re-leveling due to minor disturbances.
5.4 Using the Receiver
The included laser receiver extends the working range and improves visibility in bright conditions. It can be used in a handheld position or mounted on a rod using the provided clamp. The receiver is IP55 waterproof and dustproof, ensuring reliable performance in various environments.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Firecore FRL300R Rotary Laser Level.
6.1 Cleaning
Wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep the laser output window clean to ensure optimal beam clarity.
6.2 Storage
When not in use, store the FRL300R and its accessories in the provided hard carrying case. Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6.3 Durability and Protection
The FRL300R is designed to be tough and impact-resistant, with an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. It can withstand drops from a height of 1m (3.3 ft.) onto concrete surfaces. While rugged, always handle the device with care to maintain its precision.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your FRL300R, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Laser does not turn on | Low or depleted battery | Charge the Li-ion battery fully. |
| Laser does not self-level | Unit is outside of ±5° self-leveling range | Place the unit on a more level surface or adjust tripod. |
| Inaccurate readings | Unit disturbed during operation; Calibration needed | Allow unit to re-level; If persistent, contact support for calibration. |
| Laser beam not visible | Too much ambient light; Long distance | Use the laser receiver; Use red laser glasses; Work in lower light conditions if possible. |
