Hue/Sat Slider confusion

Hello everyone!

I have a question regarding sliders in the hue/sat adjustment layer. I watched some tutorials where the guy(Piximperfect) cranked up the hue and saturation sliders to the highest to effect a colour change. With the slider below, he played around until he could get an accurate selection.
Can someone please help me understand in depth and detail the slider below? 

Thanks

Hi, there is an excellent explanation on why Unmesh first cranks the saturation: it is to see the affected area easier:

Yep.  First thing I do after using the sampler tool to select the initial colour range, is move saturation ro 100% to see if the colour range I am aiming for has been encompassed in the colour bars.

One can drag the four handles individually to edit the affected range. 

What are you trying to achieve?
