Tips on using it to its full potential? Use it on EVERYTHING. At all distances. In different rooms. After a while you'll know how that particular mic behaves and howto get the most out of it.
Acoustic guitar? What body size? Dreadnaught, Grand Concert? A safe place to start would be at the neck/ body joint (12th to 14th fret). Back about a foot or so. Experiment. There's LOTS of good reading in the stickies here about recording just about anything you can think of.

Definitely learn the mic in and out. Practice with all kinds of different mic placement techniques and figure out what the mic sounds like and how it works. This will help you get your recording quality right at the source.
