Is the ruler flexible?

Troubleshooting

Markings are difficult to see

Ensure the surface is clean and well-lit. For very low light conditions, consider using a small task light.

Rule appears bent

Gently try to straighten it on a flat surface. If significant bending has occurred, its accuracy may be compromised, and replacement may be necessary.

Measurement seems inaccurate

Verify that the rule is placed flat against the surface and that the starting point of the measurement is precisely at the zero mark. Ensure the rule itself has not been bent.
