Sorry, guys, I can't visualize what this statement means...."signal only on foul...don't say block or on the arm...etc."

Can someone explain the difference, or the intent of this statement? Are we just showing the scorekeeper the motion of a push, or a block, but not using the words? Thanks for helping a slow-minded person....
