New Welder...

Hey guys,
I got a new welder today. Just something fun to build some exhausts fab up some new shit and such.
Heres a link to it. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93793
I know its a cheaper one but it will do the job and has a gas hookup for welding aluminum.
The Problem:
I kinda thought this may be a problem but though... They would likely say something if it needed a special power plug right..... WRONG.
The plug was not included and says it requires a 3 prong, 220 VAC, Polarized twistlock power cord plug. and needs a NEMA L6-30 or equivalent.
WTF?!?! I live in an apartment where they only have the normal outlets. Is there anything i can do to use this?
I suppose i cant just take out the normal outlet in the garage and install one of these can i?
Please serious answers guys, i really dont need to burn up the house trying something im not sure about.
Thanks
Tom
