Smoke smoke smoke

So I have been doing a lot of layering in the last month. ENgravimg and cutting.
The problem is I’m getting heaps of smoke and the machine is getting dusty and sticky and it’s starting to not scroll back and forth.
Are my settings wrong (75, 175 and 120 for engraving and 70 and 4 for cutting)
is it the wrong plywood?
how can I clean the whole machine?
is there a limit how long you should laser at a time? Some projects are two hours…
also a few times there was an issue where the cutting didn’t happen but the project has moved. Can I cut it out later somehow?
Thanks for any hot tips!
