Can I power a german 240v spindle motor off of a USA 240v nema5-50 welder plug?

I have bought this spindle for use on my cnc router. https://www.amb-elektrik.de/produkte/fraesmotoren/636/amb-fraesmotor-1050-fme-u-di-230v-fuer-er16-praezisions-spannzangen

I have contacted the company to see if the spindle will run on 240v 60hz (American) and the answer is yes.

I have a NEMA 5-50 welder plug in my shop right next to my CNC which supplies 240v.

I am wondering if it is OK to run this spindle off of the outlet and if so what adapter/wiring should I use?
