Can I remove safely metal housing infront of a laser tube to clean first mirror? I took a picture to show it.
I had a situation where somebody used air compressor to clean inside of a Trotec. Not very nice for lenses.
Laser works but I had to decrease cutting speed, or in Trotec measures from 0,7 to 0,4 speed for cutting to have a same result.
Trotec Support says that maybe the tube is getting weaker and that this situation is normal. Before anything else, I would try cleaning that mirror before calling them for annual checkup that needs to be payed of course ;)
There are 4 screws that holds metal housing. I am not sure if mirror and red dot laser pointer are connected to that housing so I don't want to mess up laser alignment.

Yes, you can safely remove that. It's stuck on with some tape too, so you'll have to pull that away a little. No issues in removing it at all. There's nothing attached to it that would be a problem.
