Is this Brad Nailer oil less ... ? ... model # AF506
Thank you for your question. tool requires oil. Please refer to the owners manual. Do not use detergent AIR TOOL OIL.
From the user's manual: To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 50 nails. When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting. This should be done before and after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.
No… You need to add a few drops of oil
