He tokomahangā putea kuraka katihia e te reti, ina pakaru te reti, ka paraia katoatia te putea. Nō reira, ko te whiriwhiri reti ritenga mō te putea tētahi o ngā taipitopito matua.
Ko te ūtu he mea tito mai i ngā niho mekameka, te pane kume, ngā aukati ki runga, ki raro (o mua, o muri) me ngā wāhanga raka rānei, ā, ko ngā niho mekameka te wāhanga matua, e whakatau tika ana i te kaha kume taha o te ūtu.
Hei tautuhi i te kounga o ngā reti, tirohia tuatahi mēnā kei te tika te tūnga o ngā niho mekameka, mēnā kei te whati ngā niho, kei te ngaro ngā niho, me ērā atu mea, kātahi ka pā atu ki te mata o ngā niho mekameka ki ō ringaringa kia rongo ai mēnā he maeneene. He mea noa te rongo i te maeneene me te kore he taratara. Kātahi ka tōia te pane tō kia rongo ai mēnā he maeneene te hononga i waenga i te pane tō me te reti. I muri i te whakakīkī i te reti, ka taea te piko i tētahi wāhanga o te reti me te kaha ake, ā, ka kitea he pakaru ngā niho reti ina piko. I muri i te tirotiro i te āputa i waenga i te kāri tō me te pane tō, ki te nui te āputa, tōia te kāri me te pane tō i waenganui i te ngāwari ki te whati, he uaua mō te whakamahi i muri mai.
He nui te pānga o te kounga iti o te reti ki te wheako whakamahinga o te putea, he ngāwari ki te pā mai ngā raruraru, pērā i te niho, te kopare, te mekameka kau, te mekameka pahū me ētahi atu raruraru, nō reira, ki te pai te kounga o te putea, he pai hoki te kounga o te reti.
