I believe that the word kickback pretty much sums up the position of the operator
Let us not seek the Republican Answer , or the Democratic answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future John F. Kennedy

I think the operator side on machinery is almost always the front, however there are exceptions of course. I don't think the table saw is one of them. Look how most operator manuals are written. When written by a native speaker.
Perhaps it is more accurate on a table saw and some other machinery to label it infeed and outfeed rather than front and back. I have had the discussion many many times with customers when trying to determine which way the blade tilts on their saw. Infeed instead of front usually clears things up.
True for a planner, but a jointer is just weird.
