Is the compressor pre lubed or will I need to add oil other than whats in the refrigerant cans?

You will have to evacuate the system and then add the recommended amount and type of oil for the system.

No need to lubricate before using. After that, clean and lubricate like you would any other chain - depending on conditions.

It comes with a conventional oil that is pre measured for the compressor. Although the compressor comes empty, so any type of compressor oil could be used. The better the oil the longer it will live if proper maintenance is followed.

Check your oil level before starting. They may have not tightened the oil cap before shipping. Add only recommended oil if needed.

Google it or xall themanufacturer.... as far as oil I'm certain you will need the oil ..... Andit's possible the seals are ruined anyway

I have always been advised to never lay any fridge on the side as compressor oil can leak out.... Hope this helps

We run our compressors to cycle between 115psi off and 95psi on,have not had any problems yet ,keep it lubricated

I bought my unit from CPO Bosch. It was shipped with oil in it which leaked all over.. The unit is an OUTSTANDING compressor and I am very happy with it. Despite oil leaking all over it. Make sure and follow break in instructions to insure proper use.

If your using portable compressor, it most likely will not have a lubricator attached, unless you have added one. If that is the case, keep doing what you're doing, add a few drops directly in the coupling on the tool every 2-3 hours. Be sure to keep your tank drained of any water that might accumulate. Moisture makes the seals sticky and can cause erratic behavior with your nailer. Clean, dry air and lubricated seals makes for a happy nail gun.

No, it needs an external compressor. Mine is a Craftsman 15-gallon oil-less. The cutter goes through a lot of air at 90-120 psi. 15 gallons is fine, but the compressor has to recharge pretty frequently. I assume you can't use an oiled compressor, or at least without an oil separator. It's an awesome cutter!

won't hurt, but most pumps come prelubed. just don't run it without water ever and oil.

the oil that is shipped in with the air compressor is hydraulic oil,it's expensive $. it is also used in hydraulic jacks and the hyraulics in backhoes,not to be subsituted with transmission oil,or brake fluid. 01/31/2015

Usually PVE or POE type oil (depending on the AC manufacturer's instructions.) Do NOT use WD40 or vacuum pump oil. It will void your AC's warranty and could cause premature compressor failure.

Nope everything you need to run the compressor is in the box, (oil, air filter, female fittings) just need hoses, fitting for hoses and whatever air tool you want to run.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

Yes, I can't remember if mine came pre-filled or if it came with a container that I poured in, but either way this is an "oiled" system that is much quieter and longer lasting than a cheap "oilless" compressor.
