To do a really good job, it should be done by hand. A buffer just doesn work well on anything other than a level floor.

Apply stripper to an area about 4 ft. square or so, and let dwell about 5 minutes or more, if the thickness is greater. When the sealer starts to swell up, you should be able to scrub the sealer off and out of the grout joints. I like to add soapy water at that point, so as to make it easier to wipe everything off the brick, as well as keep the stripped material from soaking into the brick or grout. While you are stripping one area, you can have the next area soaking in stripper.
