Can I repair my toaster?

Ok
I've a Delonghi toaster, a silver Argento thingy, I suspect it has a simple fault (the mechanism isn't latching down properly). Having gone to the trouble of obtaining a Torx security screw head (don't ask, they make these things difficult to access in the hope you aren't going to try and repair them).
I now can't get the handle off the lever grrrr - sounds stupid I know. Someone out there must know how to remove the damn thing - brute force isn't working. If I can't get the handle off, I can't open it up, which means it'll have to get landfilled, which is absurd for something 13 months old.
It's one of these btw;

Not sure if this the right board, but it seemed worth a try. TIA for any help.
