Safety Information
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses when operating power tools. Ensure the power tool is unplugged or battery removed before attaching or detaching accessories. Keep hands clear of rotating parts. Use the correct size and type of bit for the application.
- Ensure bits are securely seated in the chuck before operation.
- Do not use damaged or worn bits.
- Keep work area clean and well-lit.
- Store tools and accessories in a dry, secure place.
Setup
The Bosch CC2490 set includes three magnetic nut setters: one 1/4 inch, one 5/16 inch, and one 3/8 inch. These bits are designed to fit all 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch drills.
- Selecting the Right Bit: Identify the appropriate size (1/4 In., 5/16 In., or 3/8 In.) magnetic nut setter for your fastener.
- Attaching to Drill: Insert the hex shank of the selected nut setter into the chuck of your 3/8 In. or 1/2 In. drill.
- Securing the Bit: Tighten the drill chuck firmly to ensure the bit is securely held. The Clic-Change system allows for quick, one-handed insertion and release.

Operating Instructions
Once the desired magnetic nut setter is securely installed in your drill, you are ready to operate. These bits are designed for driving hex-head fasteners into various materials.
- Positioning: Place the magnetic end of the nut setter over the head of the fastener. The magnetic feature helps hold the fastener in place during initial driving.
- Driving: Apply steady, even pressure to the drill and activate the drill. Drive the fastener until it is securely seated.
- Changing Bits: To change bits, simply release the chuck and pull out the current bit. Insert the new bit and secure the chuck. The Clic-Change system facilitates rapid bit changes without the need to re-chuck the drill extensively.
