Troubleshooting

Ruler slips during cutting

Compatibility: The Jakar Aluminium Ruler is compatible with standard measuring, drawing, and cutting tools, including pencils, pens, markers, and craft knives. It is suitable for use on most flat, stable surfaces.

Care: To maintain its precision and longevity:
