    6.2 Two-speeds operating mode Press the control handle completely down to drive the ram down at its fast-speed. If no throuhg-splitting is required, the ram must be ope- rated at its slow speed (=more power). In order to do so, slightly re- lease one of the two levers (preferably the right-hand one).
