Answer

In this case, "look out" means to be careful, as in "if you're not careful, we'll send for the police." You can use also use "look out" and "watch out" as a way of saying "pay attention to." For example, if you were at the beach you could tell someone to "look out for sharks," or "watch out for big waves."
