Table saw blade direction

I found the table saw blade installed backwards on table 2 this morning.
Remember the carbide teeth should be pointing toward the back of the saw. It can be somewhat hard to tell on the combination blade profile.
Correct orientation below. Teeth circled.

If that doesn’t work as some people dont know wants front or back, the writing on the blade always goes to the left or the teeth apex/point should be pointing at you.

I’m confused by the picture. It is installed correctly, but those teeth are pointed towards the front of the saw.

I hadn’t considered that the “front” and “back” is ambiguous. I like jose’s clarification.

I have always called the part you stand on the “back” of the saw. If I think about it for more than one second, the part where you stand should probably be called the “front”.
