AED, first aid colorado
1. if you put the pads incorrectly you may sued

The AED pads have pictures on the pads which explain where the pads should be applied. If you placed the pads incorrectly then the AED Colorado will ask you to correct their placement. There may not be any lawsuits have been brought against lay rescuers who provided the CPR and use an AED. Our legal system provides Good Samaritan protection nationwide excluded anyone who wants emergency treatment with a defibrillator in an effort to save someone’s life. Usually the law suits are brought against the health club or similar institutions which have certified CPR employees that did not use an AED at the time of cardiac arrest. As long as a healthcare professional does not waver too far from standard CPR procedure generally they will most likely be protected.

2. its too late to deliver a shock after 2minutes of CPR:

No, it's not too late. The rescuers must deliver the high quality CPR continuously.  But when the AED does arrive and the pads are applied to the victim the AED will determine whether the victim is still in a shock able rhythm and then you may again press the shock button. there is still a chance of survival.
