I was going to reccomend the EMC site, but this one is better, and
just for your machine.

Start simple. You can make damn near every part with four Gcodes: G0
G1 G2 G3 and five Mcodes M3 M4 M5 M7 M9. Learn these completely first.

From there, I used a felt tip maker as my fist tool and learned to
draw on paper. Nobody will get ****ed when you bust this tool
learning.

There's several folks here that will love to answer your queries.
