May be worth doing a web search as people do post "How To" repairs

If you've really removed all the screws, it is possible that the two halves of the casing are also held together by little ridges on one part sitting in mating grooves. It's sometimes worth inserting a thin screwdriver or other suitable tool into the joint and levering. Also, by spotting where there's no movement you may realise there is another screw, perhaps concealed by a plastic plug.

... or a safety label. How often is it that manufacturers deliberately use labels to cover screws.

If someone like Miles Tools (great for Bosch & B&D spares) sell that maker, they have exploded diagrams on the web and these can be very useful.

I've also had Ryobi advice and spares from my lawn mower dealer. They have an enormous Ryobi parts catalogue, mainly for strimmers, but they can source bits for the workshop tools too.

IMHE, Ryobi is held together with a mix of screws and plastic barbs too. You will need to pull the screws, prise gently at the case, then poke inwards at the places where it seems to be held.
