YR Chao's def in Mandarin Primer: "to set about to"

I think "task" is a better word to use than "work"
Examples:
1) 火车一开,将军就拿出一个棋盘,动手摆棋子。
2) 把所有材料都放在一起再动手烹饪。
Diff:
- 動手 动手 [dong4 shou3] /to hit with hands or fists/to start work/to touch/
+ 動手 动手 [dong4 shou3] /to set about (a task)/to hit/to punch/to touch/
