Undercut Trim

What happens here
With the toe-kick saw's blade depth accurately configured, carefully position the saw against the section of the door jamb or baseboard you intend to cut. Ensure the saw is resting flat on the subfloor. Activate the saw and, while maintaining a firm grip on the tool, slowly and steadily guide it through the trim. The saw's design allows it to make a cut flush with the floor, which is critical for a clean finish. Continue this process for all door jambs and any segments of baseboard that require undercutting to accommodate the new flooring. Apply consistent, even pressure throughout each cut to ensure it is clean, straight, and avoids jagged edges or splintering of the wood.
Goal: Create precise, level cuts on door jambs and baseboards.
