The table saw in 1103

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Having seen 1103, several things about the table saw sequence jumped out at me:
1. The blade looks more like a ripping blade to me, and yet he's doing crosscutting.
2. Where is the guard, and where is the anti-kickback device?
3. And why is he holding (and pushing) the workpiece on both sides of the blade? The way I was taught, that's just begging for a kickback!

(Then again, I refuse to own a table saw [I have a small bandsaw, much safer] and the only kind of table saw I use with any regularity is a printer's slug-saw, which has a much finer-toothed blade [it's primarily for cutting soft metal], and the workpiece is clamped into a sled [not only more precise, but safer, too].)
