Generally speaking, I would use "Look out!" to warn someone of danger that seems imminent.
I would be more likely to use "Be careful" to warn someone of potential/possible danger.
We could also say 'Watch out!'
'Look out' and 'watch out' call attention to immediate danger. 'Be careful' is more general and can apply to daily tasks. For example, a jeweler must be careful in his daily tasks. A good chef must be careful in measuring the ingredients. A pilot must always be careful.
