There is no such thing as an oil free pneumatic nail gun. Every nail gun requires oil every day you use it.

The compressor is just supplying air to the tool.

If it is an oil lubricated compressor (which most vertical/uprights are, only a few are oil-free).

Oil will seep out of the crankcase, past piston ring, and into the pump causing hyraulic lock.

Can you use your aircon even no freon?

It won't do you much good. In fact, it won't do you any good at all. You'll only get it to blow hot air (which is what the heater is for), and, eventually, you'll destroy your AC compressor, causing it to have to be replaced, along with your accumulator (if you have a fixed orifice tube system) or your receiver-drier (if you have a Thermal Expansion Valve system). The refrigerant carries the compressor oil through the system to ensure that the compressor stays lubricated.
