How to use

Place the ruler on the surface aligned with the points to be measured or the line to be drawn. Ensure the zero mark is precisely at the starting point, then read the required measurement from the graduations. Use a sharp pencil or fine pen along the ruler’s edge to draw a straight line. For greater stability during drawing, hold the ruler firmly with one hand to prevent slipping. Store the ruler flat in a pencil case or notebook to avoid bending or damage.

Recommendations

For accuracy, keep the ruler clean and free of scratches that could obscure markings. Avoid exposing the ruler to high heat or heavy loads that could warp the plastic. When drawing precise technical lines, use a fine-tipped pencil and steady pressure while keeping the ruler firmly in place.
