Rob,
I use a small 100mm Makita wet saw, cuts it like butter.
Otherwise get a masonry friction disk in your ordinary power saw.
Cut dry and be prepared for dust.
Cheers
Bill

Better than my BIL (I could think of better initials to describe him
.....sometimes ) who took my circular saw with a WOOD!!!!!!!!!! blade and cut the fibro cement sheet 
.
He did buy me a new blade though. No choice really
Doc.All decks should be stained....black white black white black white.......after all it would match anything!
All roofs should be covered or tiled.....black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond, silver mist, black colorbond.........after all, we wouldn't want a mismatch!

Turbo or segmented diamond blade in an angle grinder.
Cheaper than you'd think.
Darksider method would be fibro shears or "score & snap" type carbide tipped knife.

The correct blade is a Hardiblade. They are made with a lot less teeth (stronger as well) than a normal blade. They cut much easier and generate a lot less dust.
