Hello!
I learned a lot of important things, but I have a Question that is this Circular Saw perfect to cut Concrete Pavers?

I think you need a cutting disc in your circular saw

to cut concrete.

the problem is that cutting concrete with a concrete disk produces a lot of concrete dust. It will kill your machine. It is not possible to stop the dust by pouring water as you would do with a tile cutting machine.
