OK, I've reindexed the sentences for the other (lower) senses, and added a sentence for that one.

  Comments:
But I think the most common usage that would be translated "to turn on" is 洗濯機を回す. You'd never (well, not normally) say "I'm 
gonna turn/rotate/spin/twist/gyrate the washing machine" in English. If I'm looking for the meaning of 回す in a case like that, I 
might very well skim past it. I do think it should be its own sense. I suggest giving it number 5, after "to turn (to a new use)" 
and before "to put (someone in a position)"
