Spindle direction

I am trying to do my first cut with a Up cut spiral bit and boy did it smoke the wood fast. After some trouble shooting I noticed my spindle turns CCW if looking from the top down. This makes the bit turn backwards. I started hunting for how to make it go CW and reset my tool path to conventional cut and still runs the bit CCW. I hope the controller is wired correctly, however the fun I had last weekend was any example then it probably is not. Any help I tried searching the forum for help on this subject with not much luck.
Newbie that just trying to make a wedding present.

When you say it was wired backwards, which wires are you referring to?
I believe I may have the same problem.
