Burning paper requires 1 watt (1000 mW), which is more than what most laser pointers can achieve without modifications

For comparison: Popping balloons or lighting matches requires roughly 100 mW (which is the high end mW range of most commonly found laser pointers)

Note: laser pointers anywhere near 100 mW and up are very dangerous to the eyes and can cause permanent degrading of vision (some doctors say any laser above 5 mW can cause eye damage), so use with caution and never point at anyone's face

We had a green laser, laser pointer at work that would cut/melt through electricians tape, but we never tried it on paper. Don't recall the wattage though.

That is relative to what you are trying to burn.

About 50mw-100.

why do you say to 100? if 50 can burn than anything over it obviously can

How do you use a AB Dick paper folder model 58?

1. The top and bottom plates must be set to fold. 2. After the folding is set for the correct foldings, you then should adjust the sides where the sheets of paper fit into. Adjust to proper size of paper. 3. Then take one sheet of paper and put it in the tray where paper goes to be folded. Under he paper tray is a knob that adjusts the roller that advances the paper. The roller should grip the paper a little, but not very tight. 4. Adjusts as needed. 5. Once the paper goes through smoothly the bars at the end where the paper comes out, need to be adjusted so the paper does not jam at the the end of the release.
