A gas laser device including a blower circulating a laser gas along a gas passage; a pressure detection section detecting a gas pressure of the laser gas in the gas passage; a gas supply and exhaust section supplying the laser gas to the gas passage and exhausting the laser gas from the gas passage; an instruction section instructing a temporary stop of a laser oscillation by a laser oscillator; and a control section controlling the blower and the gas supply and exhaust section in response to an instruction from the instruction section. The control section, once the instruction section instructs the temporary stop, controls the blower to reduce the rotation of the blower or stop the rotation of the blower and controls the gas supply and exhaust section so that the gas pressure detected is a second target gas pressure corresponding to a first target gas pressure during the rotation of the blower.
