המכנן את החבל. דרך משלשלי הדלי למלאות מים, כשמעלה את הדלי מסבב את החבל בידו כמין טבעת שלא יהא נגרר לארץ. ומכנן לשון הדרא דכנתא [חולין פ״ג]. ואם בדרך העלאת הדלי מכנן על יד על יד, צורך העלאה היא, ואין זו מלאכה וכשר המילוי. ואם באחרונה לאחר שהעלהו כיננו, חשוב מלאכה ופסול:
לזה הכשירו הוראת שעה. מה שהכשירו ביבנה הוראת שעה, לא למוליך את החבל שלא כדרכו, אלא לזה שכינן את החבל באחרונה הכשירו לו ע״י הדחק:

פרה פרק ז׳ משנה ח׳
Bartenura
המצניע את החבית – that he draws water with it to put in the trough, and after he emptied [the water] from it, he put it away/hid it prior to mixing the water [with the ashes] in the trough, this putting away [of the bucket] is not considered work, because he still needs it to fill it up [with water], and it is the need of drawing/filling water. And similarly, he inverted/bent it over on its mouth also to dry it because he still wants to fill [water] in it, it is not considered work, and it is fit/appropriate for filling/drawing. But, if he did so to bring the mixed ashes and water, that is, the water that is mixed [with ashes], since it is not for the purpose of filling/drawing water, it is considered work and the filling/drawing [of water] is invalid.
בשביל שתחזיק מים הרבה – this emptying is not considered work.
בשעה שהוא זולף -when he sprinkles.
פסול – this emptying out is considered work.
המצניע את החבית. שהוא דולה בה המים לשום בשוקת, ולאחר שעירה ממנה הצניעה קודם שיקדש המים בשוקת, אין הצנעה זו חשובה מלאכה, לפי שצריך לה עדיין למלאות בה, וצורך מילוי הוא. וכן כפאה על פיה נמי לנגבה לפי שרוצה למלאות בה עדיין, לא חשיב מלאכה וכשר המילוי. אבל אם עשה כן להוליך בה את הקידוש דהיינו מים המקודשין, הואיל ולאו צורך מילוי הוא, חשוב מלאכה ופסול המילוי:
בשביל שתחזיק מים הרבה. לא חשוב פינוי זה מלאכה:
בשעה שהוא זולף. שהוא מזה:
פסול. דפינוי זה חשוב מלאכה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

המכנן את החבל (he who winds around his hand the rope – for drawing the bucket up – until a sufficient length is wound up) – it is the manner of those who let down a bucket to fill with water, that when he raises the bucket, he surrounds the rope in his hand like a kind of ring so that it is doesn’t drag on the ground. And [the word] "מכנן" – is he language of the coils of the ileum. But if in the midst of raising the bucket, he winds the rope around his hand more than once, it is the need of raising it and this is not work and the drawing/filling of water is kosher/fit/appropriate. But if he winds it after he has completed drawing [the water], it is considered work and is invalid.
לזה הכשירו הוראת שעה – what they validated in Yavneh as a special dispensation, not to bring the rope while not on his way [to the rite], but rather for this [individual] who wound the rope [around his hand] after he finished drawing they validated for him as a special dispensation/emergency.
