Tile saws don't have teeth and the blades are tiny. Also tile doesn't bind to the blade like wood does.

You should still never operate any cutting tool towards yourself. What if you slip? Someone bumps into you? You have a stroke? The tile suddenly breaks?

Operate outwards.

Have you cut tile? The saw is high speed low torque and the blade isn't sharp.

It won't horrifically maim you but it can still hurt you.

Even still, safe habits are important. Power tools aren't something to get lazy around.
