1. Use a proper blade, which is marked for dry cutting.

E. How To Use Blockbuster Compact For Wet Cutting
Water may be supplied either by filling the water pan to within a half-inch of the top (for
continuous use of the same water) or by placing a barrel of water next to the saw (for
continuous flow of clean water). When using water from a barrel, remove water from
pan and submerge it in water barrel. Remove the drain plug so the used water and
sludge will drain from pan.
1. Prepare water supply.
2. Install water curtain on cutting head pivot bar.
3. Be sure the water pump is plugged into the receptacle on the back of the
masonry saw motor. (The pump will start when the main switch is turned on.)
4. Handle on petcock should be turned in line with the water flow. Start motor
and be certain that both sides of the blade are getting water.
5. Be sure that the water covers the bottom of the pump at all times. Do
not let sludge and dirt get deep enough in the pan to block the pump inlet.
6. Use "step" cutting with abrasive blades as previously directed.
7. Use "jam" cutting or "step" cutting with diamond blades as previously
described.
