The OP corrected himself later and stated the label said 2 kW (look at later posts).Nothing draws 2000W.
The Aussie machine draws only 1200W (look at the first post).
To be much less hazardous, one can make a wire-splitter for measuring current on a wire-by-wire basis much more safely:You can make a current splitter by getting an extension cord style plug and socket and wiring them with some 12 gauge solid wire. This makes the conductors accessible so you can clamp the ammeter around one of them to measure the current. However, this is getting into the area where you should be comfortable working with electrical power stuff, as a mistake can be hazardous.
