FLUSH CUTTING A DOOR JAMB AND 
CASING FOR INSTALLING FLOORING 

 
The multi-function power 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 plunge cutting wood saw 

blade for wood in the tool  
(Fig. 2 Page 12 & 13). 
 

NOTE:

 The blade should be centred 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" (25 mm) from the 
door jamb (2) (Fig. 6).  

 

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.  Turn the tool ON (Fig. 5 Page 14). 

 

5.  When the tool reaches its maximum 

set speed, carefully plunge the blade 
into the door jamb (4) 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.
