"Please check" vs "please check it"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Please check it' is used when referring to a specific item or task that needs to be checked, while 'Please check' is more general and can be used when asking someone to verify or inspect something without specifying what exactly needs to be checked.
