Anything to make it fit. 

What happens here

With all safety gear donned and the work area prepared, start the gas-powered cut-off saw. Position the paver on a stable surface. As seen in the video, one person may hold the paver, and another may use their foot to provide additional stability on the section of the paver not being cut. Align the spinning diamond blade of the cut-off saw with the marked cut line on the paver. Begin the cut by slowly lowering the spinning blade into the paver, allowing the saw to do the work rather than forcing it. Make shallow, consistent passes, gradually increasing the depth of the cut until the paver is severed. The video specifically shows making a small, precise 'tip' cut, implying careful control and gradual cutting. Once the cut is complete, ensure the saw has come to a complete stop before setting it down or approaching the cut material.

Goal: Cut the paver accurately and safely.
