2.9 Instructions for use of the battery and battery charger
• The battery is supplied partly charged and must be fully charged before first use.
• Keep the uninstalled battery away from office staples, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal
objects. These can potentially bridge the terminals. A short circuit between the battery terminals can cause
burns or fire.
• Do not charge the battery in the vicinity of easily flammable substances or gases.
• Protect the battery and battery charger against moisture, contamination and foreign bodies.
• Do not disassemble the battery and battery charger.
• Caution: If the battery is kept in storage for an extended period, the level of charge must be checked
regularly. The optimum level of charge is between 50 % and 80 %. Batteries should be recharged a
maximum of every 12 months so as to avoid deep discharging which can permanently damage the battery.
• Charge the battery only in battery chargers recommended by OETIKER. The use of other battery chargers
can lead to injuries and the risk of fire.
• Use only the battery intended for use in clamp pincer CP 10 / CP 20 / CC 20. The use of other batteries can
lead to injuries and the risk of fire.
• If the battery is misused, fluid can leak from it. Avoid contact with escaping battery fluid. It can lead to skin
irritation or burns. If you do come into contact with the battery fluid, wash the affected area with water. If
battery fluid gets into the eyes, seek medical assistance immediately.

5.1.3 Calibrating clamp pincer
NOTICE
Possible damage to the clamp pincer and faulty clamp closures!
To ensure uniform and reproducible process quality calibration must be executed at least once per shift or
once per day. Calibration is also necessary if any pincer components are exchanged. OETIKER recommends
checking the closing force after calibration as an additional verification measure. It is critical to ensure that
clamps are not closed in calibration mode.
Calibration prerequisites:
The clamp pincer must be connected to the PC via the USB cable.
The calibration gauge is fitted with appropriate gauge jaws for the respective pincer head.
The new closing force value has been transmitted to the clamp pincer so that it is automatically incorporated
into the pincer test.
1. Click the “Start calibration” button in the
Calibration menu.
