If cutting 7 ft lengths into foot pieces looks like you would be standing right where you can get hit by the log to me..and that's when (not if) the saw picks the log up throws it down the paddock.. The saw looks in need of hammering by a saw doctor and a sharpen/set (sharpening a bench saw for cutting across the grain is is totally different than sharpening for cutting with the grain ie cutting timber)..
Personally you couldn't pay me enough money to use that old thing,
Ive used alot of number 1 saw benches in sawmills over the years cutting timber,even a few old breast benches that are no longer legal to run in a business due to how dangerous they were....Just my 2c but don't risk it if your not sure on it be safe....
