To tare the balance is when, for example, you place a beaker on the balance and then click on the tear button which puts the balance back to zero. This putting the balance back to zero is called "tareing the balance".

That means to set it to a zero reading when at rest. This is done because during normal use, there might be dried liquid or other minute things on the balance, or affecting the parts below it, and resetting it to zero will cancel their influences on the true mass reading.
