Thanks for the help, one more question. I don't have a 220v plug, is it
ok to just push the wires into the dryer plug I'm using (

No. Nope. Don't. Do. That.

Purchase the correct wiring devices to connect your
welder. If you cannot decide which the right ones are,
an electrician should be hired to install what you
need. This is probably a two or three hour job and
will wind up costing at most two hundred dollars.

Consider this to be money well spent.

Yes indeedy! Cheap compared to what doing otherwise will probably
cost your next-of-kin.
