Easy on the truss rod.
It's wise to go easy on the truss rod when making adjustments. Some folks advice to lower the tension on the strings before making any adjustments.
Others will advise to gently pull the neck back after supporting the back of the neck towards the heel. That would be if you want to lessen relief.
If you have seen a truss rod up close, you will notice that they are not all that large and the threads are rather fine. That's true of both the single-acting and double-acting rods.
The point is that you don't want to damage the truss rod since replacement is no simple job.
