Prudently....
This is the adverbial form of the noun "prudence" which is defined as "caution or circumspection as to danger or risk". Prudently is defined as "marked by circumspection....discreet".

: It's true about raising the register, but the adverb "prudently" sounds like an outsider's evaluation of his action, rather than a characterization of his own motive.

He took the precaution of
"Radishchev took the precaution of consigning only 26 copies to ... while another seven he gave to acquaintances."
I also like "to be on the safe side," but to my ear, "taking precautions" better captures the ominous sense of anticipating trouble.
