Operating Instructions
1. Adjusting Angles:
The ruler features a multi-angle adjustable head. To set a specific angle:
- Loosen the black adjusting screw on the T-head.
- Rotate the T-head to align with the desired angle (e.g., 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°) indicated on the scale.
- Tighten the adjusting screw to secure the angle. The internal limit balls ensure precise locking at standard angles.

2. Marking Straight Lines (Scribing):
The ruler can be used for both vertical and horizontal scribing.
- Set Measurement: Loosen the parallel positioning knob (silver knob) on the main ruler body. Slide it to the desired measurement (in cm or inches) from the edge of your workpiece. Tighten the knob to secure.
- Insert Pencil: Place the tip of the mechanical pencil into the small hole on the parallel positioning knob.
- Scribe Line: Hold the ruler firmly against the edge of your workpiece. Slide the ruler along the edge while applying gentle pressure to the pencil, creating a precise, parallel line.
