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?

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!
