The Schwan Aluminum Ruler 200 cm is a long, straight aluminum profile for alignment, surface correction and measurement in construction, yard and infrastructure work. The length allows you to check the flatness of large surfaces and guides work steps such as spreading masses, correction and setting heights.
The integrated two-way spirit level function (2 vials: typically horizontal and vertical) makes it easy to check slopes and alignments without a separate tool. This reduces the need to change tools and increases efficiency by verifying straightness and level in one go.
Two ergonomic handles improve grip and control. They make it easier to position the ruler and make long strokes, for example on screed and concrete surfaces, paving and leveling load-bearing layers in the yard. The aluminum profile is lightweight, which makes handling easier without losing the precision of the straight edge.
The ruler is suitable for a variety of work stages: leveling the tiling base, guiding floor screeds and castings, checking the heights of earthworks, and aligning facades and frame work. The straight edge also serves as a guide for the marking iron and for finishing plaster and screed layers.

Intended use:

Straightening and leveling surfaces: The long, straight edge reveals pits and bumps on tiling, screed and concrete surfaces. The handles provide a firm grip, allowing you to pull the screed over the mass and ensure a uniform surface. The two-way bubble allows you to ensure level without a separate spirit level.

Setting grades and slopes in yard construction: The level of paving stones, gravel beds and load-bearing layers is quickly checked with a ruler. Leveling is done using spirit levels; handles make it easier to make longer strokes and move the ruler around the work area.

Checking frame structures and facade lines: Long lines, doorway tops and facade levels can be checked and marked. The straight edge acts as a guide for marking lines and saw alignments in the preliminary stages.

Installation and furniture work: Long furniture and level lines (e.g. countertops, cabinets, rails) can be aligned. The spirit level function also makes leveling easier, making a separate tool often unnecessary.

Schwan Aluminum Ruler – User Manual:

Check before use: Make sure the edge is clean and straight; the bubbles in the vials move freely.

Setup: Place the ruler on the surface to be inspected. Use the handles to hold it steady and place the edge against the measurement line.

Level check: Read the bubble position on the spirit level (horizontal/vertical); adjust the level or position as needed.

Straightening/spreading: Pull the compound with the edge using even pressure. Make sure that no stones or chips remain under the edge that will distort the measurement.

Maintenance: Clean dirt and grease immediately after use. Store on a flat surface, protect from impact damage.

Warnings:

Do not use a damaged or bent ruler; loss of straightness will reduce measurement accuracy.

Be careful not to pinch your fingers when pulling the mass.

Do not use on electrically conductive objects near live parts without taking safety precautions.

Clean the vials from chemicals that can cloud the acrylic parts.

Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ:
Can I use the ruler for tiling and as a spirit level? Yes, the integrated 2-bulb spirit level allows you to check level and verticality with the same tool.
How do I ensure the straightness of the edge? Place the edge on a flat surface and check against the light; change direction and make sure there is no play. Protect the edge from impacts during transport.
Is it suitable for outdoor use? Yes. The aluminum body is resistant to outdoor conditions. Clean and dry after use to keep the vials clear.
Can the vials be calibrated? In most models, the vials are fixed. If you suspect an error, compare with a trusted spirit level; replace the tool if necessary.
