Usually, when someone says "beware", it's means be extra careful and cautious, maybe something is even dangerous.
For an example; if you're in the woods and there's a lot of bears, you might see a sign that says "beware the bears" which means be extra careful (to not make a bear angry and attack you)
- English (US)
BEWARE: be alert, keep an eye out for, be cognisent of, be warned ahead of time.
CAREFUL: Be mindful while you are doing something (driving). Pay close attention to what you are doing so you don't put yourself in harm's way. Don't take unnecessary risks.

Beware can also mean, "to keep a look out" which means for an example if you're in the woods and there's alot of bears, then the "beware the bears" sign can also be "be aware; keep in mind/know that there are bears, so be careful" that is the two meanings of "beware"
