How to use this to avoid damaging my gutter?

Use the "Universal Stabilizer", model # AC96, possibly special order through Lowes.

If you're talking Flat config only, then you need to either under-shoot the eave or only rest the ladder on or very-about the gutter pins. Otherwise, in a Flat position you'll need a Stand-Off U-Shaped arm, which I didn't purchase separately from Werner. But, you can easily & cheaply make your own custom Stand-Off with just 2x4 scraps or doubled up, screwed & glued plywood & U-Bolts (preferably car exhaust system U-bolts). If you make your own, use old non-marring sneakers soles (glued-on &/or screwed-on anywhere, but the contact ends) for lateral grip (astroturf, foam rubber & carpet-padding don't hold up well) & Don't Use Carpet or Towels (they slide way too easily, even on the roof side).
