<HTML>Painter's masking tape, then by hand if the bend is 'outward.' By hand if the bend is inward (where the buffer can't reach)</HTML>

<HTML>Like Bud said very carefully. I feather the trigger on the buffer to slow down the rpms.</HTML>

<HTML>Pad has the right idea, also let the pad direction spin off the edge rather than against it.</HTML>

<HTML>I do sharp curves and edges by hand. Works and looks just as good.</HTML>
