He does it in order to increase the perpendicular distance from point of application of force and axis of rotation, which in turn increases the moment of force and hence less force need to be applied to rotate the wheel

A Potter turns his wheel by applying a force through the stick near the rim of the wheel to increase the distance from the pivoted point,i.e, at the centre so as to produce more turning effect by less effort.
