This is pullout disconnect switch. Pull out on the "T" handle to disconnect the circuit. If the word ON is right side up and reinserted the circuit is made. If the work OFF is right side up and reinserted the circuit is off. Some disconnects are fused, they have two cartridge fuses under the cover beneath the pull out. These may need to be replaced if power is not reestablished.
Handle a "What"?
The handle is made out of plastic.
Look for a breaker handle that is not full on and is misaligned with the other breakers around it. Switch this breaker to the full off position. You will find a bit of resistance as the handle is moved to the off position as the breaker resets. Move the handle to the on position and the power should be restored. If the breaker trips instantaneously when turned to the on position there is a fault on the line that must be removed.
There is a number on the end of each breaker handle. This number represents the maximum amperage handling the breaker will allow before tripping. There is a number on the end of each breaker handle. This number represents the maximum amperage handling the breaker will allow before tripping.
Because the plastic handle act as a thermal insulator, to avoid burns on your skin.
* To remove the outside door handle and lock assembly raise the window and remove the door trim panel and watershield * Working through the access hole disengage the plastic clips that secure the outside handle to latch actuating rod and the outside door lock to latch actuating rod * Working through the access hole remove the outside door handle retaining bolts * Remove the handle/lock cylinder assembly from the car
You would move the handle of the breaker from the on position to the off position.
Handle with care,plastic is everywhere

Both inside and outside plastic handles are very delicate and break very easy. People seem to try to open the doors when the lock is engaged to lock the door. At 50.00 to 100.00 a door handle i decided to attempt repair. I am repairing the driver side inside plastic door handle using a Dremel 3/4 inch circular saw. Using the hottest glue used on PVC plastic piping, i created a weld so tight it was extraordinary. I then use heavy scrap plastic above and below the spindles. I drilled clear through to the new supporting plastic and i made a few plastic dowels from scrap model plastic "trees" for support. I drilled a hole for the latch and the handle worked. I treat that door handle really nice.

There is a little plastic pin that holds the handle on. Press the pin out and slide the handle sideways to remove. Replacement is reversed.
