IMHO, this rule means the following:

A Char has the choice to fight normal or to use full defense. If he
uses normal combat, he can use Combat Pool dice only for the fighting
skill, not for the Damage Resistance test.
If you choose Full Defense, the Char rolls only skill dice as normal
(without combat pool dice), but he can use Combat pool dice for the
Damage Resistance test. Furthermore the Cleanmiss-Rule is in effect,
that means, if you have more successes with your Combat-Pool than the
attacker, the attack is a clean miss.

So you can defend yourself quite good, if you do not have an
appropriate Combat Skill (hope you have a good body :) ).
