Help and advice neded please.

Hello Everyone.
I am new to cnc and electronics and wondered if someone could give me
some help and advice please?.
I have bought the flashcut system and am ready to wire it up to the
stepper motors on a milling machine.
I have the cables from flashcut and also the connectors ( Molex
waldom 6 pin mini fit Jr receptacle housing )to fit to the stepper
motors.
This is where I start needing advice.
The stepper motors have eight wires. I have been advised to wire
them up in the parallel mode and I have the colour codes but.. the
molex pin has only four connections marked for the wires from the
motor.
Do I solder the two wires together for one connection
( EG, white-orange wire and black wire to give the A+ connection )
then solder the joined wires into the female pin ?

Also in the cables supplied by flashcut, connection 2 is the cable
ground shield, it states in the manual "shield is only connected to
noted pin on molex waldom connector and should not be connected to
motor end, use beldem-m8273CM 2pr22shielded cable or equivalent."
Can someone please tell me what I need to connect to this pin ( if
anything ) or what I need to do regarding earthing the motors ( if
necessary )
Sorry if the questions are simple, but its all new to me, and I would
rather ask and appear stupid but get it right, than damage something
due to ignorence.
Any help or advice you can give me will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Graham.
