You should know by now that we need more context to go on if we are to give a helpful response.

For example in sentence: "I must acquaint myself with this material (documentation) before I start to work." can I use those phrasal verbs?

Your sentence is OK.

But can I use those two above in this sentence?
a) I must get to know this material before I start to work.
b) I must get known this material before I start to work.
Are these correct?

"Get known" is incorrect.

"Get to know" is usually used when referring to a person rather than material.

You could also use "familiarize myself".
