noob table saw question

Hello,

What is the proper way of feeding a plank when ripping at an angle? IOW, if my saw is leaning to the left (dewalt 7480), do I place the fence on the left or on the right of the blade?

A friend of mine needs a 7 degrees rip into a 1x3 oak plank (i.e. 7* from vertical when the plank sits on the narrow side). It's a very shallow cut and he previously has used a planer for the job, but we're hoping that a table saw is faster and more accurate.

We're just not sure if cutting so that the base is wider than the top will create kickback.

Thank you for any advice you may have.
