Noticed in this pic:
There is no handle. Is it better to take it off?? I have used mine twice with the handle. Thanks.

I prefer to use mine with the handle, I feel I have more control and it feels more "natural". Disadvantage is that you can't get into tight spots, then I remove it. I have thought it might be kind of handy to have a handle mount on the top of the polisher, similar to some grinders.Brandon

It’s a personal thing.
I prefer to use it without handle. I find it easier to maneuver and to press down evenly that way.
Try it both ways and see which you prefer.

That's what I'm thinking. Give it a try and see what is comfortable.
Thanks.

When I detailed my truck last weekend, thinking back to this thread... I removed the handle and told my self not to use it. So, I didn't use it and you are right it is much easier to use without the handle. Thats the way to go!Brandon

Possible explanation: when used as a sander, no pressure is applied. Very different from when we use it to polish vehicles.Originally posted by sneek

C'mon, reading the manual is like asking for directions when you're los...er....uh....directionally challenged. Yeah, that's it. Guys just don't do either.Originally posted by sneek

For the record, I don't use the handle. But you probably could figure that out from my initial response!Michael Stoops

The machine is simple too easy to use without the handle plus Newbies tend to push down harder on the handle side causing them to buff crooked, (the pad is thus not flat and the goal is to always have the pad flat), and in some cases when you're following body lines of a car you'll actually yourself and the polisher in a position where the handle is digging into the paint.
When got my first polisher I threw the handle away and never looked back.
Try both ways and see which works best for you.
As for the rotary buffer, I go back and forth, sometimes with a handle and sometimes without the handle,
