Certainly, its very simple.
Set the meter to 10A (about 5-o'clock)
Connect the probes appropriately (black to COM, red to 10A).
Put one lead (doesnt matter which) on the top copper spring clip where the fuse would sit, and the other where the bottom of the fuse would sit.
You are simply replacing the fuse with the meter. For the purpose of this experiment you don't want to let them sit too long, as the meter is unfused, just long enough to get a reading. A few seconds, the number should steady out to something.
I'll check my SD shortly and post a picture for reference.
