I wouldn't worry about it, just turn it a little at a time 1/8 to 1/4 turn, and you should be fine. I ajusted mine on my first guitar with no help or instruction, just go slowly. Also remember that the truss rod is NOT how to ajust action, it is to make the neck straight, it will lower the action if the neck is bowed at all, but if the neck is straight it shouldnt be touched. You can check this by pressing the 6th string down at the 1st 13th frets, you are using it as a straight edge. Now look for the gap between the string and the 6th fret, there should be almost none, a business card should fit but not much more. Make your truss rod ajustments until the string almost touches at the 6th fret when holding it down at the 1st and 12th. If you still think your action is too high you could consider sanding down your saddle. If you think you might want to do this let me know and ill explain how to. Good luck.
