Having fingers and toes, get mining before tea-break (8)

I believe the answer is:

digitate

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

'having fingers and toes' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'mining before tea-break' is the wordplay.
'mining before' becomes 'digit' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'break' indicates an anagram.
'tea' with letters rearranged gives 'ate'.
'digit'+'ate'='DIGITATE'

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for digitate that I've seen is " Like some leaves".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
