Dont know for sure (715 is way too new for me) but I'd guess that the
worm and spur gears are at such an angle that a really serious load
might turn the drive sprocket anyway. Anything around a 45o drive
angle can be run that way. If the spur/worm angle is very steep, like
70 or 80 degrees, a serious overload would just produce end thrust on
the driving gear and tend to strip it. Gordon 8-)
