We have a laser maintenance log. Please fill out log on wall to left of laser (right of woodshop door) whenever any laser maintenance is done (clean lens/mirror, change filters, etc). This helps us see how often laser parts are maintained and helps us pinpoint if any problems are arising over time.

Mirror #3 on laser head should be checked daily and cleaned at least every week. (pgs. 49-50)
 
Mirror #2 (right side of laser, inside panel) should be checked and cleaned every weekmonth. (pgs 50-51)
 
Careful not to scratch it since the reflective mirrored surface is on top (not under glass like bathroom mirrors).
