Avoid splinters cutting underlayment

Instead of using a saw to cut 1/4-inch underlayment, use a utility knife - no splinters! Cut where you're working instead of moving somewhere else to protect floor from debris. Also a 4-foot-level makes a great straight edge. And if you make a mistake, you can simply trim the old piece and put it in because you didn't loose an eighth to the saw. Wetchaser
