ye i think he is adding ridges to both pull up water and add more bite to the wheel, maybe a bit like deglazing a water stone, only more agressive.... dont know why hes using a cleaver though?!?
I would also think that he is hacking a criss-cross pattern into the stone. This is most likely his coarse stone so the pattern will probably help to transport enough water in order to cool the blade while grinding.
he is (dressing the wheel) taking off high spots that make the knives skip when the wheel is turning.

Adding grooves to bring up water better.

Maybe he's putting some ridges into the wheel for a bit of bite
