FLUSH CUTTING A DOOR JAMB AND
CASING FOR INSTALLING FLOORING
The multi-tool can be used to flush cut a
door jamb and casing to allow space for
the new flooring to fit neatly under the door
jamb and casing. For the purpose of
demonstrating the procedure, floor tile is
being used.
1. Install the end cutting saw blade for
wood in the tool (Fig. 2 Pages 12&13).
NOTE: The blade should be centered on
the tool housing and NOT installed in the
90° position.
2. Place a scrap piece of floor tile (1) on
the floor about 1/2" (12.5 mm) from
the door jamb (2) (Fig. 8).
NOTE: Make sure the “good” side of the
tile is facing upward to provide a smooth
surface for the blade to follow.
3. Place the tool with the saw blade (3)
lightly touching the surface of the tile
and the cutting teeth NOT touching
the surface to be cut.
4. Set the speed to the fastest speed
and turn the tool ON (Fig. 5 & 7
on Page 14).
5. When the tool reaches its maximum
set speed, carefully plunge the blade
into the door jamb while sliding the
blade along the floor tile.
NOTE: Hold the tool tightly and do not put
too much forward pressure on the saw
blade when cutting, as this will cause the
tool to vibrate excessively.
