Use hands to make some protection from heat (8)

I believe the answer is:

sunshade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some protection from heat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'use hands to make' is the wordplay.
'to make' indicates an anagram.
'use'+'hands'='usehands'
'usehands' anagrammed gives 'SUNSHADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sunshade that I've seen before include "Awning or parasol, for example" , "Awning or parasol will provide it" , "shelter" , "protective cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
