I have a Trumpf laser and I'm having problems cutting stainless, aluminum or anything reflective. The mirrors are buring out within hours. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

is the cooling system in order? Are the mirrors getting hot? Best check for water flow in the mirror mounts.
