Set out to mend taser that's malfunctioning (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demonstrate

'set' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'to mend taser that's malfunctioning' is the wordplay.
'that's malfunctioning' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'mend'+'taser'='tomendtaser'
'tomendtaser' anagrammed gives 'DEMONSTRATE'.

'out' is the link.

(Other definitions for demonstrate that I've seen before include "Show or display" , "Present" , "Prove, show" , "Prove - protest" , "March" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
