The guy in this photo seems to be using a table saw with a sliding table, but why is the fence in front of the work?

but why is the fence in front of the work?

Generally,it occurs when the piece you are CROSSCUTTING is wider that 3.5 = ft. In that situation a back fence does not permit you to put the board in= place without engaging the blade first. Move the fence to the front and y= ou can get a full 4 ft. cut.

What I don't understand is why he appears to be ripping a long board this w= ay. It seems that he does not have a rip fence on the saw. He will learn w= hen it twists and kicks back on him!
