In this paper we present the results from the measurements made with the MUNU TPC at 1bar pressure of CF4 in the energy region below 1 MeV. Electron events down to 80 keV are successfully measured. The electron energy and direction are reconstructed for every contained single electron above 200 keV. As test the 137Cs photopeak is reconstructed by measuring both the energy and direction of the Compton electrons in the TPC., Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures (6 figures in color); Figure 10 has been deleted from [v1]. Additional paragraph has been included; Manuscript is submitted to Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
