Friends: I'm at my wit's end here. It's simply a warning (and a simple one I know) in this manual I've been translationg about big machines. I'm sorry to bother you, but if you could come up with something better than: "Highly dangerous to your hands", which is all my resourcefulness could yield, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

CAUTION: Watch for sharp edges
Sharp edges are oftentimes produced in cast metal. It takes a little caution not to get cut from them.

: yes, I do not think it is necesary to specify "hands"--after all sharp edges could pose a danger to other parts as well

: I think that if the manual refers to the hands in particular there must be a reason and you can't disregard that
