Sentences one and three are correct. "Cut" is very generic. If you cut something, maybe you are making a small incision with a knife, maybe you are making one item into many with a sharp object. Sometimes a person can be cut (removed) from a team. "Cut down" is to cut something (like a tree) so that it falls. If you "cut down ON" something, it means "consume/use/spend less."
