It doesn't matter on a diamond blade. Either way will work. Usually there is printing on one face that would face out, on the nut side, but it doesn't matter.

Can the dual saw cut through granite?
NO! Granite is hard S#$!. 1.If you don't have a diamond blade its not gonna do much. It doesn't matter how many blades or which way they turn. 2.You will need water to cool the blade and the tile. Without water to cool it the tile will get hot and break and the blade unless diamond will overheat turn to molten metal and fly apart .

You need an actual tile saw. You can probably rent one at your local hardware store.ANS 2 - Tile is best cut with a water fed saw, or at least one where the bottom of the blade runs through a container of water.

The blade I bought for cutting ceramic tile that is not working so well is the tile supposed to be wet?
I install ceramic tile professionally in the Opelika, AL area. I have several saws some dry some wet. It depends on what kind of saw you have. Breakers have a tungsten blade that scribes the tile and then breaks it. Wet Saws usually have large blades 10-14" in diameter that need to be wet when cutting. Grinders have small 4-6" blades that cut dry. Hand saws look similar to a skil saw and usually cut dry also. I would recommend sharpening the blade by cutting a cinder block or brick with it. Just dip the blade into the brick or block about 1/2" to 1" about 2 times and it should dramatically improve the cutting ability of the blade. If you are cutting a hard, dense tile and the blade is "dulling", cut through a softer tile to "sharpen" the blade again.
Diamond Powered - The Tile Saw?
Time was when the tile for a wall or a floor had to be nipped into shape by hand. Nipping is time consuming and messy. All nipped cuts are somewhat less than perfectly curved or straight. Nipping is still often used for curved cuts after the bulk of material has been removed by a modern tile saw. The wet tile saw is a power tool that is the professional’s choice for quick, clean, and near perfect cuts. Cutting any type of tile requires an abrasive. Steel teeth are not up to task of cutting ceramic or stone tile. And because these materials are hard, the cutting device gets very hot. Tile saws use diamonds embedded in a spinning wheel to make near perfect cuts. To keep heat from building up, tile saws use a water bath that cools the blade while it spins. To operate a tile saw, both electric and water supplies are needed. Consequently, tile saws are often set up outside where water sling is not a problem, or they are carefully isolated from any indoor surfaces that may be damaged by water. Pre-manufactured, protective enclosures, known as saw shacks, are available for indoor use. Most saws use a stationary spinning blade and allow the tile to be slid along a fence and by the blade for accurate cutting. On basic saws, the tile slides along the table surface. Other models allow the tile to be clamped to a moveable table which then easily slides the tile past the blade. Either of these styles allows for a miter guide to position the tile at an angle to the blade for off-angle cuts. Miter guides are also useful for making multiple straight cuts to produce the the radius of a curved cut. When purchasing or renting a tile saw, the best choice is the one with the easiest way to move the tile past the blade. For 4.25 inch tile bathroom tile, most any saw is capable. When cutting larger tiles, the conveyance method can greatly affect the accuracy and cleanliness of the cut. The easier It is to move the tile by the blade, the smoother the cut.
