Building or Buying a Wood routing table.. Beginnners guide.. / newbie

Hi, I am a newbie here and just a little confused. Please accept my apologies if (more like when ) this ends up in the wrong place. Back in  June of 2016, I decided to purchase a Chinese CNC 3040T 4 AXIS Router Engraver Engraving Drilling Milling Machine Desktop. Due to some unforeseen medical problems, I have not been able to work with it until now and realizing it ain't all as simple as I thought it would be. Prior to forced medical retirement, I installed, serviced and taught three-dimensional Coordinate measuring machines for 4 different US CMM  Mfg's for approximately 30 years. This system came with a T-D Axis controller. No limit switches (hard or soft)?? I ordered some online if needed but am finding it hard to figure out where to install them into the system (electrically) I can mount them where necessary just don't know where to place the wires (E-stop)? Also using Mach3 following the directions sent in a mix of English and Chinese, all axis seem to lock (harder to move manually), but can't seem to get any of them to move. I know it's something simple but I am in the middle of nowhere with no one to beg for help except finding this Forum. I thank you for allowing me to post my problems here and we would be most grateful for some help.
