Questionnaire

1. How long have you been in the industry? 17 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, only ever seen a battery saw recently in the dealers, no experience of them in the work place

 

4. Do you use any other types of saw? If so please specify: Jig-saw, Circular saw, cut-off saw, silky saw, bow-saw, carpentry saw, see-saw (with the kids)

 

 

5. Have you ever used an electric saw? If so please state what you thought about: Never an electric chainsaw

a. Ease of use

b. Efficiency

c. Compared to petrol

d. Compared to battery

 

 

6. Do you need a ticket to operate a battery chainsaw like you do a fuelled saw, if so which ticket? Don't see why a battery saw is any different to a petrol saw - maintenance aspect of training and certification may need adjusting, but the operation should be the same. In short, yes, I think so, and all the relevant ones to the job being done.

 

7. If you bought a battery chainsaw, would it be for garden maintenance or the commercial industry? Please state together with reasons.

Would consider a battery saw for climbing (commercial industry). Reasons: 1, quieter, easier communication. 2, only used for short periods of time, therefore preserve battery life. 3, eliminates need for re-starting saw or having it idling from the harness.

8. Is the maintenance easier with any particular saw over another? Please also state reasons. No, but bigger saws generally easier to clean as the parts are less fiddly (Casings etc, not carburettors and the like)

 

9. If you were making a recommendation to a commercial small business owner, what saw would you suggest they purchase and why?

Entirely dependant on the nature of the business and what the saw is used to be used for.

10. If you were making a recommendation to a private individual (for use on the own premises) what recommendation would you make and why?

Depends on the individual and what the saw is to be used for

11. Any other comments:

Would be interesting to know what the purpose of the questionaire is? More specifically than college project
