The direction of the movement of the cylinder is determined by a control valve, the so-called deadman's
handle.This deadman's handle can be turned to the left or the right, thus determining the direction the
piston moves in. In the neutral position no pressure is built up in the cylinder and the oil flows without
pressure back to the pump. If the deadman's handle is released, it returns automatically to the neutral
position and stops the movement of the piston.
In tools like cutters, spreaders and combi tools the axial movement of the piston starts a mechanism
that then makes a cutting or spreading movement.
