Le khasi Isihlalo samazinyo sisetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukuhlolwa nokwelashwa kokuhlinzwa ngomlomo kanye nezifo zomlomo. Izihlalo zamazinyo kagesi zisetshenziswa kakhulu, futhi isenzo sesihlalo samazinyo silawulwa yi-control switch ngemuva kwesihlalo. Umgomo wayo wokusebenza yile: Ukushintshwa kokulawula kuqala imoto futhi kushayela indlela yokuhambisa ukuhambisa izingxenye ezihambisanayo zesihlalo samazinyo. Ngokwezidingo zokwelashwa, ngokukhohlisa inkinobho yokulawula ukushintshaniswa, isihlalo samazinyo singaqedela ukunyakaza kokukhuphuka, ukwehla, ukugibela, ukuma kokusetha kabusha.
