Made a stand and a bolt on hydraulic downfeed

So, here's what's probably going to be seen as a dumb question: how do you lift open the saw, without acting against that valve? Do you simply open it up all the way, raise the saw, then close to the required feed for each cut, or is there a check valve or bypass valve in there somewhere ?
