Homebrew PCBs

Actually, I was responding to another poster's comment about doing it better
freehand.  BAD IDEA!
 
It does look like your board is able to slip under the fence, and that is
bad in many ways.  Consider putting a piece of wood or plastic under the
board that is thick enough not to get under the fence.  This can be
sacrificial (cut with the board), or precut and fastened on either side of
the cut line to boost the board up.
 
Also, your technique of pushing the board through from the side of the blade
away from the fence will cause problems like binding.  The material should
always be pushed between the fence and blade.  This cannot be done safely
without a push stick or push block.  These can be made from wood or plastic.
The best design holds the entire length of the board down and has a hook or
thin piece to catch the trailing edge of the board and push it through.
Look on-line for wood table saw safety accessories for ideas.  
 
Keep safe!

Why do people even think I have not used read the manual:

Or done a free hand cut without the "fence"; here the video of what I did:
