Frequently Asked Questions - KH 3120 RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER PARKSIDE

What is the purpose of the PARKSIDE KH 3120 PES 600 random orbital sander?

The KH 3120 (PES 600) random orbital sander is designed for dry sanding and polishing of wood, metal, and paint/lacquer surfaces. Its combined orbital movement avoids circular marks and provides a more even finish than a traditional rotary sander.

What are the main technical features of the PES 600?

The machine delivers up to 600 W of nominal power, with an adjustable no-load speed of 5,000 to 16,000 rpm. The pad measures 150 mm in diameter, the eccentric reaches a 5 mm stroke, and the device weighs about 3.0 kg. It operates on 230 V ~ 50 Hz mains power.

How do you attach or change a sanding disc on the PES 600?

Discs are attached via a Velcro system on the 150 mm pad: pull off the old disc and stick on the new one. Ensure the disc holes align with those on the pad to maintain effective dust collection.

How to adjust the sanding speed?

The speed is adjusted via the adjustment dial on the machine's body, between 5,000 and 16,000 rpm. Choose a low speed for delicate materials (softwood, fresh lacquer) and a high speed for hard surfaces or to remove more material.

How to empty the dust collector?

Detach the collector box, open it, and empty its contents into a closed bin. Regularly clean the filter to maintain suction efficiency. Wear a dust mask during this operation.

What materials can be worked with the KH 3120 PES 600?

The manual allows for dry sanding of wood, metal, and painted or lacquered surfaces. Warning: wet sanding is prohibited. Avoid any material containing asbestos or any hazardous substances.

Why does the sander vibrate abnormally?

Excessive vibration usually indicates a misaligned, damaged, or partially detached disc. Check that the disc is flat and properly fixed on the Velcro pad. If the pad itself is worn or warped, replace it.

The sander overheats and stops, what should I do?

The motor is thermally protected: it automatically cuts off the power in case of overheating. Unplug the machine and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Check that the ventilation openings are not obstructed by accumulated dust.

What grit size should be used depending on the work?

Use a 40-80 grit for heavy material removal (old paint, raw wood), a 120-180 grit for intermediate sanding, and a 220-400 grit for finishing. Always progress from coarser to finer grit to avoid deep scratches.

How to maintain the KH 3120 sander to prolong its lifespan?

Clean the ventilation slots after each session, always empty the dust collector, and check the condition of the Velcro on the pad. Store the device in a moisture-free environment to protect the motor and electrical contacts.

Where to find compatible sanding discs for the 150 mm pad of the PES 600?

All 150 mm hook-and-loop discs (standard 8 holes) are compatible. They can be found in large DIY stores as well as on spare parts websites like spareka.fr or fixpart.fr.

What is the purpose of the KH 3120 DUO-START system?

The DUO-START system offers two grip configurations on the same machine. This allows you to adapt the working posture according to the treated surface (horizontal sanding in the workshop or less accessible areas), for more comfort and precision during prolonged sessions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

• Please read the additional advice in the accompanying booklet called "Safety advice".
• The sander is not designed for wet sanding and therefore must be used for dry sanding only.
  It must not be used on any materials containing asbestos.
• Wear ear protectors. Look after your health - please wear safety glasses and a breathing/dust mask.
• Please take note that working with stone, wood and materials containing lead may give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health.
  Always keep the mains cable away from the working area of the sander and lead away the cable from the rear.
• If the mains lead becomes damaged it must be replaced by a special lead, which can be obtained from the manufacturer or his service department.

ATTACHING AND REPLACING SANDING DISCS

Before starting any work on your sander, pull the plug out of the mains socket. The random orbital sander is fitted with a Velcro fastening, which allows for quick and easy replacement of sanding discs.

Note: Remove dust and dirt from the backing pad ⑤ before attaching a new sanding disc. When doing this, make sure that the holes in the sanding disc align with the holes in the backing pad ⑤ . This will provide the maximum suction for dust removal.

Different materials require different grades of grit. You can read about the various grit grades and the work for which they are suitable in our informal recommendations under "Advice on use, Tips and Tricks".

OPERATION

Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the equipment rating plate (equipment shown as 230V can also be connected to 220V ).

PRESELECT ROTATION SPEED:

The desired rotation speed can be preselected as required using the rotation speed selector wheel ②. Different materials require you to work with different rotation speeds. To help in selecting the most appropriate rotation speed, please refer to our recommendations under "Tips and Tricks".

SWITCHING ON AND OFF, CONTINUOUS MODE:

2-STAGE POWER CONTROL: DUO-START

DUO-START technology results in high sanding output and allows you two different ways of working with the sander. The two handles allow you to concentrate the sanding power where you want it for the best results, whilst providing you a good control of the sander. You also can work holding either the front handle ① or the main handle ②. The front handle ① can be positioned using the wing screw on the right-hand side.

REDUCED NO-LOAD ROTATION SPEED:

The sander has a reduced no-load rotational speed facility. It is only when you press down on the sander or actually sand the workpiece that the full power of the preselected rotation speed is triggered. This means that you can safely bring the sanding disc into contact with the workpiece material and then gently start your orbital sanding process.

ADVICE ON USE

Always switch on the random orbital sander before bringing it into contact with the workpiece material.

USE LIGHT SANDING PRESSURE ONLY

Always work applying the lightest possible sanding pressure. The weight of the sander alone is perfectly adequate to produce good sanding results. By adopting this approach you will also prolong the life of your sanding discs, obtain a smoother workpiece surface and reduce the amount of energy consumed.

SANDING AND SURFACES

The sanding output and the quality of the surface finish are determined by the rotation speed and the grade of grit on the sanding disc (see table under "Advice on use, Tips and Tricks"). The following basic rule applies: the higher the rotational speed, the higher the sanding output and the finer the sanded surface finish.

Push the dust collection box ⑧ on to the adapter opening on the side of the sander.

Note: Empty the dust collection box regularly and at the appropriate intervals, striking the box to dislodge any adhering dirt. This will ensure optimum suction for dust removal.

VACUUM DUST EXTRACTION USING A VACUUM CLEANER

To use a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction you will require the appropriate adapter. Connect the adapter to the hose end piece of your vacuum cleaner and attach it on to the nozzle of the sander.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Clean the sander frequently. For best results, do this immediately after you have finished using it.
2. Do not allow any liquids to enter the sander. Use a soft cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents as these may attack the plastic.
3. Always keep the ventilation openings clean and unobstructed.

ADVICE ON USE, TIPS AND TRICKS

• Move the sander in parallel runs, large circles or alternate longitudinal and transverse runs.
• Do not press on the sander. Otherwise the sanding discs may be displaced and detrimentally affect the sanding performance.
• Clean the sanding disc from time to time with a vacuum cleaner.
• By selecting the correct rotational speed and the grade of grit on the sanding disc you can determine the sanding output and the results you obtain.
• Do not work on different types of material using the same disc (e.g. wood and then metal).
• Only by using sanding discs in perfect condition will you enjoy good results and protect your sander.
