The power switch must be turned off to allow the mechanism to work, and
too much dust clogs the switch (a slide switch) such that it can't be
moved. Thus the router jams and won't move.

The switch must be in the off position as opposed to cutting the power
with an auxiliary switch? While a good safety measure, it would be a PITA
when making a series of small adjustments if the router is enclosed.

Yes to both questions. After this happened a few times, I learned to keep
that switch free of dust.

It does seem that PC uses this method to insure that the router is turned
off. Mine is not only turned off, it is also unplugged from AC power.
