1. Te mahi a te pūnaha raka tatau whakahaere pokapū
Ko ngā mahi rerekē o te raka whakahaere pokapū e ahu mai ana i ngā mahi o te raka paerewa hei whakatutuki, nō reira me mārama tuatahi tātou ki ngā mahi me ngā āhuatanga o te raka paerewa.
(1) Maukati paerewa
Ko te mahi a te raka paerewa ko te mahi wetewete me te raka noa, arā, ko te whakarato i te mahi wetewete me te raka i ngā taha e rua o te tatau o te motuka, te uhi o te kātua (te tatau hiku rānei).
He mea whakamīharo tēnei nā te whakamahinga watea me te hononga maha-tatau. Koinei te whirihoranga paerewa o te pūnaha raka whakahaere pokapū, ā, ko te whakaritenga anō hoki mō te whakatutuki i ngā mahi e pā ana ki te pūnaha raka whakahaere pokapū me te pūnaha ārai-tahae hohe.
Ko te mahi raka paerewa e mōhiotia ana ko te mahi raka takirua kotahi, ā, koinei te pūtake i hangaia ai te mahi raka takirua. Arā, i muri i te katinga o te raka paerewa, ka wehea e te motuka raka te kakau tatau mai i te pūnaha raka, kia kore ai e taea te whakatuwhera i te tatau mai i te motuka mā te kakau tatau.
Kia mōhio: Ko te mahi raka takirua ko te whakauru i te matua raka mā te kī, ka huri ki te tūranga raka kia rua i roto i te toru hēkona; ka pēhia rānei te pātene raka i te mana mamao kia rua i roto i te toru hēkona;
Ina raka rua te motuka, ka mura te rama tahuri hei whakaū
