Hilti TE 7-C - Manual (Page 14)

The outer casing of the power tool is made from
impact-resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made
from a synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation
slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully
using a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to
enter the interior of the power tool. Clean the outside
of the power tool at regular intervals with a slightly
damp cloth. Do not use a spray, steam pressure
cleaning equipment or running water for cleaning.
This may negatively affect the electrical safety of the
power tool.
8.3 Cleaning or replacing the dust shield
Clean the dust shield on the chuck with a dry, clean
cloth at regular intervals. Clean the sealing lip by
wiping it carefully and then grease it again lightly
with Hilti grease. It is essential that the dust shield
is replaced if the sealing lip is found to be damaged.
Push the tip of a screwdriver under the edge of the
dust shield and prise it out toward the front. Clean
the area of the chuck in contact with dust shield and
then fit a new dust shield. Press it in firmly until it
engages.
