Wiring help needed

I'm trying to wire up a 220v outlet for my new welder.

The plug on the welder is a NEMA 6-50, I bought the corresponding outlet @ HD.

The outlet only has 3 connectors, and mentions a "green" wire - the wires in my outlet are black, red, white and a bare copper ground.

What goes to where? The directions on the box were useless - they mention "W, X, Y" but there are no corresponding labels on the outlet!
