Heliweld arc stabilizer

Just checked out this Heliweld. It powers up and produces very quiet sound. Can I check it with a multimeter?

Not a good idea if it does in fact include a hi-freq source. It's very likely you'll get arcing inside the meter and do serious damage.

DONT turn on the HI Freq when you do..and dont change any switches while the meter is connected.

Well, it has just one switch... on and off...

Sorry...I meant the meter. Changing ranges with a rotary switch may..may induce an arc internal to the meter
