When diamond stones are new they tend to scratch more because the diamonds are not even. After a while the break in and give a better finish.
Is that the 1000 grit stone? Try using more of the liquid and a much softer stroke. If that doesn’t help then get some 600 grit Wet n dry sandpaper from an auto body supply or auto parts store. It wears down pretty quick and should give a dull even finish. That will do for now. Each time you sharpen it should get better.
