I do not know if what you bought was lapped before shipped to you, so you may need to lap the stones before you hone on them.
Once lapped soak for 10-15 min in water , and start honing.
From there on you have to learn proper honing technique, i.e. correct stroke, pressure , when to move to the next grit etc.
Honing is great fun and I am sure you will enjoy it.
You can search youtube for razor honing videos and watch to get an idea how it is done.
For starters here is a video by Lynn, in it he explains how to use Norton stones.
