Message:   Marc,

It's is used to open or close the bellows without making sound. I also use it sometimes to move the bellows closer to the end of it's travel in one direction (say a push), in preparation for a long passage coming up, that will be played in the other direction (a pull).

It's an interesting question, in that for me, it's no longer really a conscious action. Had to really think about it.

Hope that makes sense and is useful.
