First off, try this, SurveyMonkey: Free online survey software & questionnaire tool

You have to pay for the full service (well worth it and not a lot of money, even for an impoverished student) but the free version is good for 100 responses.

It will give you a more useful set of answers, and people will be more inclined to respond....

How do you want the replies? On forum / emailed to you (give your email address) or a PM?

 

It might be worth you putting the questionnaire on a free online questionnaire program to make it easier to complete https://www.surveymonkey.com/

Questionnaire

1. How long have you been in the industry? 8 years

2. Do you have experience of using saws regularly? Yes

 

3. Which do you find the best for the working industry, battery or fuelled chainsaws and please give reasons for each? Petrol fuelled. Reason - I have never seen or heard of a battery operated saw that I would consider using.

 

4. Do you use any other types of saw? No. If so please specify:

 

 

5. Have you ever used an electric saw? YesIf so please state what you thought about:

a. Ease of use - Very easy for cutting logs in a fixed location

b. Efficiency - I don't understand this question.

c. Compared to petrol - I don't understand this question - what aspect of using an electric saw are you comparing? It was quieter and light, but less powerful and limited by having a flex.

d. Compared to battery - never used one

 

 

6. Do you need a ticket to operate a battery chainsaw like you do a fuelled saw, if so which ticket? I don't know.

 

7. If you bought a battery chainsaw, would it be for garden maintenance or the commercial industry? Please state together with reasons. Possibly for garden work - I cannot imagine a battery chainsaw would be powerful or robust enough for commercial tree work.

 

8. Is the maintenance easier with any particular saw over another? Please also state reasons. I guess an electric saw has less mechanical parts that can break so may be easier to maintain.

 

9. If you were making a recommendation to a commercial small business owner, what saw would you suggest they purchase and why? Depends what they want to use the saw for. I would never recommend an electric or batter powered saw for a commercial business though.

 

10. If you were making a recommendation to a private individual (for use on the own premises) what recommendation would you make and why? I may recommend an electric saw to a homeowner for cutting small logs for a fire as it is quieter and easier to start.
