Notes on changes for en-GB:
- Retained inches as per specification, since these are industrial machine dimensions often given in imperial units.
- Changed "w/" to "With" for clarity and formality.
- Adjusted punctuation to use en dashes (–) where appropriate (e.g. ranges).
- Fixed some capitalization for consistency (e.g., “Housing”, “Daylight”, “Controls”).
- Spaced units and symbols consistently.
- Converted hyphens to en dashes in ranges (0 - 18" → 0 – 18").
- Used British spelling conventions where applicable (e.g. nothing specifically requiring change from American spelling here).
- "HP" and motor ratings kept as given, though in the UK “horsepower” is still commonly used in industrial specs.
- No use of the US-style abbreviation “w/” or shorthand that would be less usual in British English technical documents.
