What way is the blade supposed to rotate on your makita skil saw?

The teeth on the blade should point up. Usually there is printing on only one side of the blade and you should be able to read this on the open side.

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.
