Italian term or phrase: custodie
'Non aprire le custodie e gli involucri dei dispositivi elettrici', 'Do not open the casings and ? of electric devices', I find 'casing' for both terms so I am not sure if there is another term I need to include.

Explanation:
Due to the fact that the term custodia means 'protection' I would think the phrase is to warn against opening enclosures or covers (involucri)/protection means
