Now I know what to call the run off if I need to rent or discuss it when buying the new blade.

I would have thought WD40 was flammable from the way it smells, thanks for the tip.

The sparks and the heat were just too much for the amount of cutting the masonry blade actually did, more like abrading really.

I am careful and cautious and will up date as I go.
