Use a refractometer to check the coolant mixture (5% - 10% is typical), which prevents rust and ensures proper tool cooling. Ensure your workshop has consistent climate control, as
Clean or replace the cooling fans and foam filters located on the back of the CNC display console and the main electrical cabinet. Overheating causes the PC side to randomly freeze or blue-screen.

Older 640M controls (Windows 95 architecture) sometimes suffer a "9 blinking decimal point" error after a full SRAM clear (rotary switch position 7). This is often mistaken for a fatal error, but the maintenance manual and experienced service technicians clarify the truth: A blinking "9" on the display indicates the NC side hardware is OK . However, the NC remains in NOT READY because it is waiting for SRAM data that it cannot find. The exclusive recovery strategy involves locating the backup files ( srambkf.dat , mhnpar01.m64 for machine parameters, usrpar01.m64 for user parameters) and restoring them through the I/O interface. Without these backups, the machine may be rendered inoperable.
