Two methods on that; cut the limb at the V, taking the time to make two pieces for yourself, taking the risk of touching the chain to dirt OR just nick the fork, either side, just a little touch to create a 'relief' cut. The limb is assured to collapse. You've not created more work for yourself, less.
Keeping a handsaw mounted right to the back of the small chipper was one of the handiest things yet. If a fork needs a relief kerf, the handsaw is
right there and usually only takes a pull or two.
Life with the little chipper is a bit different. You're not throwing horsepower and size at the job. You refine your method, adapt, and keep your chains sharp because you tend to do a lot more cutting with the chainsaws.
It also helps to love cutting with a chainsaw.
