4. Functional description
The SF 4000-A is a battery-powered drywall screwdriver
with automatic (jet) coupling designed for use by pro-
fessional drywall installers. For optimum efficiency and
comfort in use, we recommend that the tool is held in
line with the forearm (in-line grip)

. The motor cooling
air is drawn in through the slots

and is expelled from
the tool through the air exit

. The tool is suitable for
use by both right- and left-handed users. The ergonomic,
rubber-padded grip reduces fatigue and ensures that
the tool can be held securely.
The following items are supplied: electric screwdriver
with Phillips no. 2 bit and magnetic bit holder, 2 SFB 180
or SFB 185 batteries, C7/24 charger, 2 operating instruc-
tions, packed in a plastic toolbox. Alternatively, the elec-
tric screwdriver may be supplied with a Phillips no. 2 bit
and magnetic bit holder, operating instructions, packed
in a cardboard box.
