The Hand Tool is used as a basic scrolling device and navigation aid when browsing through documents. When it is enabled, click and drag the page in the desired scrolling direction in order to browse through documents.

 

When this tool is in operation two options are available in the Properties Toolbar:

 

Exclusive Mode simplifies the process of using the Hand Tool. When Exclusive Mode is enabled, the pointer ignores all interactive elements of documents other than base content. This makes it possible to browse quickly through documents without the risk of accidentally selecting undesired items. When Exclusive Mode is disabled, the pointer recognizes and interacts with all underlying elements in the standard manner.

Properties opens the Properties Pane to view/edit the properties for the Hand Tool. See here for information on tool properties.
