Tekakau noke, e mōhiotia ana ko te noke, he wāhanga nui o te pūnaha taputapu noke e whakamahia ana i runga i ngā poti. Anei ngā mahi matua a te rakau noke i roto i te horopaki moana:

1. **Tuku Mana**: Ko te rakau noke te kawenga mō te tuku mana mai i te pūtake whakauru (pēnei i te motuka hiko, i te pūnaha waipēhi rānei) ki te putanga (pēnei i te pūnaha urungi, i te wini rānei). Mā te huri i te nekehanga hurihuri ki tētahi momo nekehanga rerekē (he tikanga he raina, he hurihuri rānei i te koki matau).

2. **Whakaiti Tere**: Ko tētahi o ngā mahi matua o te toki noke he whakaiti i te tere. Ka tutuki tēnei mā te ōwehenga teitei o te pūnaha taputapu noke, e āhei ai te nekehanga puhoi, whakahaeretia o te toki putanga.

3. **Whakareatanga Taipana**: Haunga te whakaiti i te tere, ka whakanuia hoki e te rakau noke te taipana. He tino whai hua tēnei mō ngā mahi e hiahiatia ana he taipana teitei i ngā tere iti, pērā i te hiki i ngā kawenga taumaha me te wini, te whakarato rānei i te mana urungi tika.

4. **Huri Aronga**: Tekakau nokeka huri i te ahunga o te nekehanga tāuru mā te 90 nekehanga, he mea whai hua i ngā tono me neke poutū te putanga ki te tāuru.

5.**Raka-ā-Whaiaro**: I ētahi hoahoa, he āhuatanga raka-ā-whaiaro tō te toki noke, arā, ka taea e ia te aukati i te putanga mai i te hurihuri whakamuri ina mutu te whakauru. He mea nui tēnei mō te haumaru i roto i ngā mahi pēnei i ngā wini, ina hiahia koe kia kore te kawenga e paheke.

6. **Mana Tika**: Mā te rakau noke ka taea te whakahaere tika i te nekehanga putanga, he mea nui tēnei i roto i ngā tono e hiahia ana kia tika te tūnga, te nekehanga rānei, pērā i ngā pūnaha urungi poti.

7. **Pai ake o te Wāhi**: Ka taea te hanga i te kakau noke kia kiato, kia pai ai te whakamahi i te wāhi iti e kitea pinepine ana i runga i ngā poti.

8. **Pakeke**: Kua hangaia ngā toki noke kia pakari, kia tu atu hoki i ngā taiao moana kino, tae atu ki te pānga ki te wai tote me ngā āhuatanga rerekē o te rangi.

9. **Te Māmā o te Tiaki**: Ahakoa he pono te nuinga o ngā toki noke, he ngāwari noa iho te tiaki me te whakatika, he painga tēnei i roto i te taiao moana e kore pea e taea te uru atu ki ngā ratonga tiaki motuhake.

10. **Tohatoha Utaina**: Tekakau nokeka āwhina i te tohatoha ōrite i te kawenga puta noa i te taputapu noke, ka taea ai te whakaroa i te roa o te ora o te pūnaha taputapu me te whakaiti i te pakaru me te pakaru.

Hei whakarāpopototanga, he mahi nui tā te toki noke i roto i ngā pūnaha miihini maha o ngā poti, e whakarato ana i tētahi huarahi pono me te whai hua mō te tuku mana, te whakaiti tere, me te whakarea taipana, me te tuku hoki i te whakahaere tika me te whakarerekē ahunga.
