EN 60825 -1
The laser radiation can cause serious eye injury
• Do not stare into the laser beam
• Do not position the laser beam so that it unintentionally blinds you
or others.
• Do not operate the laser level near children or let children operate
the laser level.
• Do not look into a laser beam using magnifying optical devices
such as binoculars or a telescope,since it will increase the level of
eye injury.

Charge the Li- Ion battery or use new AA Alkaline batteries if the
beam/ battery indicator (b) starts to flash instead of emitting a
steady light.
NOTE: Connecting the charger with the charging adaptor to the
power (without the battery) will show a steady green LED indicator
with a small blinking dot. During the charging the LED indicator (on
the charging adaptor)will be red and
then green, once fully charged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Working in Automatic mode (self-leveling):
In automatic mode the laser level will level itself in a ± 2.5° range
and will project 1 horizontal 360° or/and 2 vertical 360° green
beams.
1. Remove the laser level from the case and place it on a solid,
flat, vibration free surface or on a tripod.
2. Push the locking switch #1 to the ON position. The laser level
will project a 360° horizontal beam. The beam indicator (b) will
turn on.
3. Press the beam selector button (a) - it will turn on a 360°
vertical side beam instead of the horizontal beam.
4. An additional click on the beam selector button will turn on a
360° vertical front beam in addition to the side vertical beam.
5. One more click on the beam selector button (a) will switch on
the horizontal beam in addition to the vertical beams.
6. An additional click on the beam selector button (a) will switch off
the two vertical beams.
7. If the initial inclination of the laser level is beyond ± 2.5° and the
automatic mode is activated, the laser beams will flash. In this
case reposition the laser level on a more level surface.
8. Before moving the laser level turn the locking switch #1 to the
OFF position, this will lock the pendulum and protect your laser
level.

11
Working in Manual mode:
In Manual mode the 102494 self-leveling mechanism is disabled and the
laser beams can be set at any slope required.
1. Verify that the locking switch #1 is on the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the Manual mode button (a) for 3 seconds, to activate the
manual mode. The laser level will project a 360° horizontal beam
that will flash every 3 sec. to let you know that the beam is not
leveled. The beam indicator (b) will turn on.
3. To mark a slope, tilt the laser to the desired angle.
4. To choose another beam, briefly press the beam selector button
(a) - it will turn on a 360° vertical side beam instead of the horizontal
beam.
5. An additional click on the beam selector button (a) will add a 360°
forward vertical flashing beam.
6. One more click on the beam selector button (a) will switch on the
horizontal beam in addition to the vertical beams.
7. Next click on the beam selector button (a) will switch OFF all the
beams and the beam indicator (b) will turn off.
8. While in Manual mode, turning the locking switch #1 from OFF to ON
will turn off the Manual mode. The automatic self – leveling mode will
be activated (if the laser level is within the self – leveling range).
102494

12
Working in Pulse mode with a detector:
For outdoor work under direct sunlight or bright conditions, and for
extended indoor ranges up to 70 meters, use the pulse mode with
a Detector. When the pulse mode is activated the laser beams will
flash at a very high frequency (invisible to the human eye). This
will allow the detector to detect the laser beams.
1. The pulse mode can be activated both in Automatic and in
Manual mode.
2. Turn on the laser level (to the required mode).
3. Press the Pulse mode button (c) to activate it. The Pulse
mode indicator (d) will turn on. Visually, the intensity of the
beam will be a bit reduced.
4. Turn on the detector and search for laser beam.
5. You can choose a different beam, by pressing on the beam
selector button (a), while you are in Pulse Mode.
6. To switch the Pulse Mode off, press the Pulse mode button (c)
and the Pulse mode indicator (d) will turn off.

MAINTENANCE
To maintain the accuracy of your project, check the accuracy of
your laser level according to the field calibration tests procedures.
• Change the battery when the laser beams begins to dim.
• Wipe the aperture lens and the body of the laser level with a clean
soft cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Although the laser level is dust and dirt resistant to a certain
degree, don't store in dusty places as long term exposure may
damage internal moving parts.
• If the laser level is exposed to water, dry the laser level before
returning it to the carrying case to prevent corrosion damage.
• Remove the battery if the laser level is unused for a long period of
time to prevent corrosion damage.

FIELD CALIBRATION TEST
This laser level left the factory fully calibrated. Ironside recommends
the user check the accuracy of the laser periodically, especially if the
unit falls or is mishandled.
1. Check the height accuracy of the cross created by the lateral (#5)
and the horizontal lines.
2. Check the height accuracy of the cross created by the
longitudinal (#4) and the horizontal lines.
3. Check the accuracy of the forward vertical beam.
4. Check the accuracy of the side vertical beam.
5. Check the perpendicularity between the 2 vertical beams.
1.Checking the Height Accuracy of the cross created by the
lateral (#5) Horizontal lines.
(Up and down deviation)
1) Set up the laser on a table or on the floor between 3 walls A, B
and C. The distance between A and Bshould be approximately
5 meters.
2) Position the laser level approximately 0.5 meters from wall Aand
2 meters from wall C.
3) Unlock the pendulum and press the Beam Selector (a), twice to
project all 3 lasers beams.
4) Direct the cross lines of the horizontal beam and the side vertical
beam (# 5) towards wall A.
5) Mark on wall Athe center of the cross beams as a1, and on wall C
mark the center of the cross beam as c1 (see figure # 1).
102494

15
6) Turn the laser 180° towards wall B. Reposition the laser and verify that
the 2 vertical lines pass through a1 and c1.
7) Mark on wall Bthe center of the cross beams as b1 (see figure # 2).
102494

16
8) Without turning the laser level, lock the pendulum and move the
laser level towards wall Band position it approximately 0.5 meter
from wall B.
9) Unlock the pendulum and press the Beam Selector (a) twice to
project all 3 lasers beams.
10) Verify that the vertical line passes through a1and b1.
11) On wall B, mark the center of the cross beams as b2 (see figure
# 3).
12) Turn the laser 180°. Reposition the laser and verify that the 2
vertical lines pass through b2 and a1.
13) On wall A, mark the center of the cross beams as a2 (see
figure # 4).
102494

17
14) Measure the distances:
Δa= |a2-a1|
Δb= |b1-b2|
15) The difference | Δa – Δb| should be no more than 3 mm, otherwise
send the laser level to a qualified technician for repair.

2. Checking the Height Accuracy of the cross created by the
longitudinal (#4) and horizontal lines.
(Up and down deviation)
1) Set up the laser on a table or on the floor between 3 walls A, B
and C. The distance between Aand Bshould be approximately 5
meters.
2) Position the laser level approximately 0.5 meters from wall Aand 2
meters from wall C.
3) Unlock the pendulum and press the Beam Selector (a) twice, to
project all 3 lasers beams.
4) Direct the cross lines of the horizontal beam and the forward
vertical beam (#4) towards wall A.
5) Repeat the previous marking procedures from paragraph 5 - 15
3. Checking the Accuracy of the forward Vertical beam (#4).
1) Hang an approximately 3 meter long plumb line on a wall.
2) After the plumb line has settled, mark point a1 on the wall behind
the plumb line, near the plumb cone. (see figure # 5).
102494

19
3) Set up the laser on a tripod or on a solid surface in front of the wall,
at a distance of approximately 2 meters.
4) Unlock the pendulum and press the button to project the vertical
forward beam (#4) towards the plumb line.
5) Turn the laser, so the vertical beam will merge with the plumb line
below the hanging point.
6) Mark point a2 on the wall, in the middle of the vertical beam at the
same height as a1. (see figure # 6).
102494

20
7) The distance between a1 and a2, should be no more than 1mm,
otherwise send the laser level to a qualified technician for repair.
4. Checking the Accuracy of the side Vertical beam (#5).
For the second vertical beam, repeat the previous marking procedures
from paragraph 1 -7.
