Best to use a lumb hammer and a combination of a sash knife and scutch chisel, oh and plenty of brute force. The hole needs to be as deep as the box you are fitting. as for the hole being square, this is not crucial as long as you can get the box to sit level, the surrounding area can then be patched up.
