If the tip of an electrical overshoe is torn

  • it may be cut back.
  • it may be classified as acceptable damage.
  • it must not be cut back.

Explanation from PART66Online

Electrical de-icing overshoes are bonded heater assemblies, not structural material that can be trimmed. A torn tip exposes the heating element and breaks the seal, so cutting it back would not restore serviceability; the overshoe must be replaced rather than cut back. This is why it must not be cut back.

cut back means : something to be reduced. So its forbidden to reduce the electrical (resistance inside ) overshoe.
