What is a Framing Nailer?
This is Rob McMahon for Expert Village. You have to keep your gun well oiled. There's Nematic Tool Oil that's used specifically for these. You add it in to the air fitting and you have to be careful only to use the proper type of oil. Inside here there's a cylinder that holds the air and a piston that fires down a pin that will shoot the nail and all along these different fittings are these rubber o-rings that keep the air sealed tight. These o-rings will dissolve with different types of oil, WD40 for example, will cause them to decay. So you want to be careful that you only use the right type of oil.
