It doesn't effect them at all provided you use the oiler at the distant end of the air hose, you disconnect it with the tool.

It is essential that the >> metal >> to metal surfaces get something slippery between them so that they don't >> >> generate >> excessive heat and friction, which would cause premature wear. >> >> Oiling an air tool is pretty simple. Before you use it, just add a >> couple of >> drops of >> air tool oil >> to the tool through the air fitting. For tools that get used once every >> now >> and then, just once before using it for the day is good enough. If it is >> a >> tool >> getting heavy use, it would be a good idea to add a few drops a few >> times >> through the day. >> >> Filtered Air Fitting >> Most air tools don't require a filter, and most don't include one, but >> it is >> such a good idea that Coilhose Pneumatics came out with that we're >> recommending >> them for everyone. A few manufacturers, such as >> Milwaukee nailers >> and >> Max Tools, >> are including filters on the tools themselves. For everyone else, adding >> a >> filtered air fitting >> can keep dust and debris out of the piston chamber. >> >> Again, automobiles use air filters to keep dirt and rocks out of the >> combustion chamber and away from the moving pistons.
