English term or phrase: take care during unpacking, assembly and use
This is a proofreading assignment, and the client does not like the sentence as it's been translated. I'm not sure how I could improve it, so I thought I'd throw it out to you, in the source language, without the proposed translation (so as not to poison the well, so to speak ;-))
I'm interested in just how many ways this idea can be conveyed...

Ce produit...


Explanation:
The best thing is to have just one sentence in french.

Ce produit "ou" cet appareil contient des parties fonctionnelles pointues/coupantes et des précautions doivent être prises lors de sont déballage, assemblage et utilisation.

Since sharp means both "pointu" and "coupant" I would put both to be on the safe side.
