He advises the hands to get a rise (6)
I believe the answer is:
mentor
'he advises' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the hands to get a rise' is the wordplay.
'the hands' becomes 'men' ('men' can be a synonym of 'hands').
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a rise' becomes 'tor' (I've seen this before).
'men'+'tor'='MENTOR'
(Other definitions for mentor that I've seen before include "Train" , "Wise counsellor (of protege)" , "Merton (anag.)" , "Somebody advising" , "A wise and learned teacher" .)
