A dual-scale ruler, with marks in inches and centimeters, allows for easy measuring, regardless of which system you prefer. Safety features include a guard rail to keep your fingers away from the blade when cutting and a blade latch hook that secures the arm in a locked position when the trimmer is not in use.
