Worried I am in danger of doing my bike some damage if I overdo it? (But I don't know what [i]overdoing [/i]it is!)

I tighten mine up until the jaws are snugly in contact with the skewers and then perhaps a further half or full turn just to add some tension. I also use really old Shimano chrome plated skewers as the jaws seem to grip these better than soft alloy ones.
I don't think you'll do much damage to the bike as the trainer starts to flex if overtightened.
