the bevel makes the edges rounder by adding in more geometry
the effect is that the edge of an object wont look so sharp, nothing has sharp edges other than things that are intended to cut or pierce... or so the rumour says
the edges Perfecto suggested you bevel are the edges that make sharp corners
around the outside and the edges around the depressions
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
