When I did my floors I cut the floor around the

I ripped out the carpet and the tack boards from this area on the
weekend and I think you are right about undercutting the door jambs and
door casing. It seems easier.

So, my next question is do I need special tools for this? Do I have to
buy a door jamb electric saw or can I get by with a hack saw? I reread
the flooring manual and they claim I can use a hack saw. But what is
the reality of that?

It's easier with something (inexpensive) like this:

Obviously, a power tool will make it easier still, for a price.
