What happens here

The presenter emphasizes the safety advantage of the Fan Pivot. He explains that traditional methods of rotating the spray pattern involve manually twisting the tip guard, which places the painter's hand in a 'danger zone' where accidental trigger pull could lead to paint injection injuries—a severe risk. The Fan Pivot eliminates this risk by allowing pattern rotation without touching the tip guard or turning off the gun's safety. He cites a viewer comment highlighting the severity of paint injection injuries.

quickly turn rotate you can see how it functions just like that so now I'm just going to attach it into my extension and we'll talk about some of the features that I like about it the first feature is is the safety Factor you know of not having to you know rotate your guard to get your fan pattern your turn now a lot of painters um will say you know why don't you just rotate your guard you know when you're spraying why do you need this device so rotating the guard is an option I've been doing that for 25 years but it is a major safety issue anytime you rotate your guard typically what I would do is I would put the gun between my legs and then I would just rotate this guard you know and then and then begin spraying so I just put a between my legs rotate it any direction I wanted and then begin spraying now anytime you're rotating that guard if you're twisting it turning it your hand is in what we call a danger zone right here and you could get injected with paint if you had any type of accidental trigger pull anytime you're messing with a guard you put the gun on safe and then mess with it but you can see instead of actually you know messing with the guard itself getting my hand in that um safety zone where I could get injected with paint I don't have to get anywhere near that and I can rotate twist the guard and spray quickly and easily so a safety issue I think this is probably one of the key elements to this device why you would want to use it is I'm just keeping my keeping my hands keeping my body out of this zone right here if you ever get injected with paint you literally can actually lose yo your hand or a limb by getting injected so safety is one of the key elements to using this device so now the second thing I want to talk about is
