Always. If you witnessed the collapse, immediate application of the AED offers the best chance of successful defibrillation. If the patient does not need defibrillation (only two heart rhythms are shocked by an AED), the AED won't attempt it, so applying one can't hurt, and it may save a life.
Hook up the AED when the absence of a pulse is confirmed.
