The main thing to remember is to not tighten the rod too much while making adjustments. Most sites and resources will recommend no more than a 1/4 to a 1/2 rotation before rechecking the balance of the neck.
The other golden rule when it comes to doing maintenance on your instrument is - if you don't feel comfortable doing it, then don't. While you 'can' seriously mess up your guitar via the truss rod you'd have to seriously screw that thing into the neck and ignore a lot of warning signs first.
