FLUSH CUTTING A DOOR JAMB AND
CASING FOR INSTALLING FLOORING
The oscillating 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. 1 & 2 on Pages 10 & 11).
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. 9).
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
(Fig. 8 on Page 12).
5. Turn the tool ON (Fig. 6 on Pages 11 &
12).
6. 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.
7. Continue to make several plunge cuts until
the bottom of the door jamb and casing are
completely cut off and the loose pieces (4)
can be easily removed.
Follow the same basic procedure for installing
carpet, using a thicker spacer that is the same
thickness of the carpet being installed.
