Before using a pneumatic tool, it is important to lubricate the tool to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage. This should be done by putting a couple of drops of oil into the tool where the air hose attaches. Options A and B are incorrect because draining water or oil from the compressor would not properly lubricate the tool.
