There are things you can do. First, the end of the fence (past the blade)
should be 5 to 10 thousands further away from the blade than the front
side.

That is really just a band aid to hide a problem. It helps the keeper side
stay cleaner but the waste side begins to hit the back side of the blade and
it too may show tooth marks or burn. If you plan to use the waste side
little has actually been gained. Better to set everything up correctly in
the first place. You run your miter gauge parallel to the blade, your fence
should also be parallel to the blade also.
