Clip it on to your Hook or "bottom shot" whichever you want "just on the
bottom" then set the float depth accordingly. I just use a lightly
attached Swan Shot.

See below, it is taken from.

The plummet is used to find how deep the water you are fishing is. To do
this you attach the plummet to the hook then gently cast it into the
water. If the float sinks you need to alter the float to give it more
depth. If the float rests on top of the water you are too deep, you need
to alter the float so you are fishing shallower. Keep trying until the tip
of the float is just out of the water then you know your bait will be on
the bottom.

OR...

Plummet:
These are specially designed lead weights, used to help work out a depth
of a swim. They are cone shaped, have a small loop at the top, and have a
cork base. You attach them to your float rig by threading the hook and
line through the top loop, then locking the hook in place by pushing the
hook point into the cork. You cast out your float rig and keep adjusting
the position of the float until you only see the float tip. You remove
the plummet and it should be at the perfect depth.

Gotcha. Took me a while but I got there in the end!
