    Don't worry about it just keep the touch speed sensible and you won't have a problem. Think I have mine set to 300mm/min initial touch then 50mm/min for final touch.

    Always best when first setup to place something soft under plate for testing. Ie sponge then after that always touch probe to earth and check light comes on before each use.!. . . . After that you won't have any trouble I use mine everyday with tool direct to aluminium with no plate used at all (Ie zero thickness for plate) just a wire touching material and doesn't even mark the material.
