'does' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'labour involve using an instruction book?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'labour' could be 'manual' (manual labour is a kind of labour) and 'manual' is found within the answer.
'book?' could be 'work' (book is a kind of work) and 'work' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'such' is the link.
