Well, yes, it is strange - I would even by wary of it's use in 
operations at the point mentioned.

Wary doesn't mean don't - wary means that I am careful.

It's like when a car mechanic tells you that your car is running 
fine, but be wary of the brakes.  Yes, normally the car runs fine and 
that is good for the user.  But at some time a hard stop is needed, 
and if that overloads the brakes, the users had better be wary 
(seatbelt!).
