"Trim off the selvedge by undercutting the edges using a knife and straight edge"
This is from an instruction for applying a frieze (here some type of special wall paper border) to a wall.
Next is "Refer to table on reverse for details of recommended trim measurement for individual designs"
I cannot get my head around what this instruction actually tells you to do.

das Salband abtrennen
This is a wallpaper border (edging), which is applied to finish off the edges of a section of wallpaper by cutting through both the border strip and the edge of the wallpaper and then removing the cut-off strips to end up with a clean cut edge finish.
