    The answer to that question is that it depends on if the blade is a wet cut only or a dry blade. The manufacturer will specify which type. Generally, you can wet cut with a dry blade, but you should not dry cut with a wet blade.

    Wet cutting power tools are electrically insulated.....if you wet cut with a tool designed for dry cutting, you are risking electrical shock.

        Is your saw ok to cut using water? If it is I would use water. This will prolong the life of the blade. Plus you will eliminate the dust. You could also use a gfic cord for extra electrical protection.
