Re: What Happens When Metal Gets Into A Jaguar (SMOKE!!!!)

Dwayne,
In most cases the answer would be no. However, in fans, they tend to bind the rotating parts. The same takes place on motors that have an open frame like the Banebots and Fisher Price. In devices that plug in, they prevent full insertion and that sometimes leads to bent and broken pins. In general, foreign debris of any kind should be avoided, metal in particular.
