There is no MARC rule concerning cutters-- they're created locally. A library can request that a vendor add them, but it's still a local decision on whether to use them and when they'll be used. Cutters are usually based on a main entry, and are often machine generated. In my 5 years of cataloging, I've never added them to the 082 tag. Good luck!
