"Stay" or "stand" are also usually good translations for "aufhalten" but again they are not regularly used for machinery safety warnings. If we write, "stay", some idiot will think it is OK to walk through the area. If we write, "stand", some other idiot will think it is OK to sit under the machine. Expressions like:
"Danger – Keep out (of the marked area under the vertical axis)!
As Steffen wrote: "Danger – Keep away from (this marked area)!
"Danger area, do not enter (the marked area under the vertical axis)!"
"Danger – No access (to the marked area under the vertical axis)!
"Danger area, keep out (of the marked area under the vertical axis)!"
are very typical.
