It serves the same function as a cocking lever on other weapons. You pull it to the rear, lock the bolt to the rear with the bolt catch... next step depends on what you're doing next. If you're inspecting the chamber to clear the weapon, you simply look into the chamber to ensure that it's empty. If you're loading the weapon, you place the weapon on safe, load the magazine into the magazine well, and depress the bolt catch to chamber the first round.
