You don't want to press too hard while it is cutting or it forces the cutter to bite too deep and can bind or chatter, or makes holding onto the case difficult as it spins with the cutter. I start with a light press and let the cutter work down through the brass. At the end I press firmly to make sure the base of the cutter head is for sure pressed against the case head (proper depth). I use a fixed depth cutter with no adjustment.
