Yeah, those wheels do make a mess. Half my garage is covered in a 2" layer of sisal "shrapnel" right now - I haven't swept in several days.
I don't have too much trouble with the sisal wheels "grabbing" the part, usually it's the loose wheels when they catch an edge that want to do that..
My buffer rotates "over the top" towards me and I keep my part on the lower front portion of the wheel (4 to 5 o'clock position if you're looking at the left side of the left wheel, (7 to 8 o'clock if you're looking a the right side of the right wheel) to keep it from grabbing..
I also use my body to brace my arms to keep them as "solid" as possible to keep the part from moving where I don't want it to and if the wheel does grab, I'm better able to keep it from being torn out of my hands..
