Abstract
An electronic control board implemented by a printed circuit board is supported on a flexible lens or bezel which may be flexed to allow insertion, so as to be retained. The edges of the bezel are received in the interior periphery of an opening in a support housing, which opening is closed off by the bezel and by a cap which retains the exposed periphery of the bezel in its interior portion. Lugs may extend from the support housing and the cap against the printed circuit board to provide better support. The entire assembly is maintained unitary and retained to a power tool by fastening means such as screws extending therethrough and into the power tool.
